Is headache a symptom of hayfever?

I don't really think if myself as a hayfever sufferer but I do get some symptoms on the worst days. I'm assuming today would be one of those?

I woke up this morning with ridiculously sore eyes and a raging headache which isn't shifting with paracetamol or no matter how much water I drink.

Hayfever?

Could be - if your hay fever/allergies is causing sinus congestion. If you want to go medicine way then try sudafed sinus relief. Else use hot water bottle for 20-35 minutes on your forehead, cheeks, nose , eyes (cover all sinuses with 2-3 minute per area) it will give you relief. If your headaches keep repeating then consult your GP for advise to use antihistamine routinely.

I often get a headache when my hayfever is bad, or weirdly depending on the weather - i think it's to do with the atmospheric pressure.

Yes my daughter gets this. For a long time she was having daily headaches and then we realised it was from March to September and now she takes hay fever meds she is fine

Yeah I get hayfever headaches, they are always shifted with antihistamine and paracetamol. Like pps have said, it’s the sinus part of it that causes mine.

Definitely. It’s the worst thing about mine.
