For those patients with allergy, sinus, hay fever, and/or asthma symptoms, we usually perform allergy skin testing at the first visit. The testing specifically identifies the allergies (weeds, trees, molds, grasses, animal dander, dust mite) responsible.

Sinus headaches are certainly underappreciated by persons not suffering from them. There is a great range of severity anywhere from mild and intermittent, to severe and daily. The most important aspect of the evaluation is identifying cause.
