Beer and sinus symptoms?

by Symptom Advice on December 2, 2010

I know what a hangover is, and this is something completely different. I drink plenty of water and have a more than healthy diet. I take precautions before a night out and these headaches are different from the usual throbbing headaches produced from an evening of partying. they seem to be directly sinus related, which is a dull, congested type of pain behind my forehead and nose. sometimes I will drink just a few beers and wake up early with these symptoms. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if I am possibly allergic to some specific ingredient? Trust me, I know what a hangover is and this is very different and specific.

There is a long list of sites if you google " sinuses and drinking alcohol". the reason I didn't just post one of them is that there are to many to choose from. but the gist is that blood vessels dilate , and nasal membranes swell when drinking alcohol , and makes you feel like you've been in the pool to long. but i wouldn't rule out a sinus infection . those make your head hurt .

it could definatley be allergy.
yeast, or something else.
I would try drinking something else,
like vodka.
