Yes, I get sinus attacks from time to time; at their worst, they can lead to vicious headaches. I have noticed over time that certain things can act as triggers for attacks; sustained stress is one, a coming prolonged spell of awful weather is another (my sinuses are close to being infallible weather vanes); exposure to cigarette smoke is another, some food additives also act as triggers, and the two worst sinus attacks I have had in my life occurred at parties where most of the guests were enjoying a spliff, so it seems that I am violently allergic to cannabis (how's that for seriously, terminally, uncool?)
Strangely enough, while I use OTC remedies, another thing which I find useful is to keep properly hydrated; for some reason, that seems to ease the strain on my sinuses. The fact that these days my diet is largely organic, and that pubs and restaurants are now smoke free have also both helped my sinuses hugely in recent years.
