Chances are your frequent sinus headaches are really migraines in disguise. Almost nine out of 10 people who claim to have sinus headaches actually experience migraines. But to get a definitive diagnosis of the type of headache that’s affecting you, you’ll need to provide your physician with specific information. What really helps is to keep a headache diary. Your doctor will need to know when and how often your headaches occur, what makes them worse, what makes them better, what seems to trigger them and how long they tend to last. The bottom line is, you don’t have to suffer with a migraine, just talk to your doctor.
Here’s an alarming fact. More than 2 million women living in the U.S. have been treated for or are living with breast cancer, and more than 40,000 women are expected to die from the disease this year. Though breast cancer death rates are declining -- mostly due to earlier diagnosis -- the disease remains the second leading cause of cancer death in women (after lung cancer). But what you may not know is breast cancer is 90% curable when caught early. Getting your annual mammogram may be all you need.
