Occasional sinus pain plus hungover feeling - anyone else get this?

This is a really annoying thing I’ve had occasionally since my early 40s. Most of the time I can drink alcohol, no problem. Sometimes, though, after just one drink I get sinus pains during the night and feel sick and headachey all the next day.
It’s often, but not always linked to getting a bit hot and dehydrated the day before. One time recently it happened when I’d not been drinking at all, though I think my sinuses were irritated by doing some dusty cleaning jobs.
Am I just a weirdo cursed by the god of random hangovers or does this ring a bell with anyone else?

Yes! I am in absolute agony with my sinus’s after alcohol fairly requently now! Suffering today after just a few beers… but it was hot and probably dehydrated yesterday so I wonder if there is a link there

I don't drink but I get this feeling just before my period.

Not quite the same but lager often makes me sneeze and become snotty.

Alcohol lowers the immune system so its a natural response. You could try anti histamines or sudafed (decongestant). Not drinking around the period or ovulation and eating more veggies also helps as the immune system is lower around this time.

Should say I get this too, worse since I started an immune suppressant.
