I went to the ER with a heavy feeling in my upper back. My labs came back normal, and the doctor didn't seem concerned, but I wanted a second opinion.

I believe I have a sinus infection. I've been experiencing symptoms such as coughing, a head cold, nasal bleeding, stringy mucus, blood clotting, and sore nasal passages for about 8 days. I'm 74 years old and take Coverall, Plavix, and Crestor. I had Crohn's disease but it's in remission now. Additionally, I've noticed difficulty breathing through my nose, some sinus pain, and feeling really stuffed up. What can I do to address these symptoms?

I've been having a poky headache for about 30 days. I am 23 years old, have high cholesterol, and low vitamin D. The headache is at a level 3 on a scale of 1-10 and feels like someone is poking my scalp in different places. I also felt slightly nauseous early this morning, but my vision is fine. What could be causing this headache and should I be concerned?
