Hey!
I don't have migraine but I have sinuses. It's been many years since I breath with my two nostrils.
Basically the nostrils blockes while I am trying to sleep causes irritation and lack of oxygen.
Due to this my forehead starts paining.
And I can't able to sleep.
I'm so happy to see this thread and this post. I've had migraines for nearly 40 years and have become kind of an authority on them. One thing I've experienced is lack of sympathy on the part of people who simply can't understand. This is such a great place to commiserate and talk to people who get it.
