fig 1. The Cold vs. Sinusitis Checklist You wake up with a heavy head, a blocked nose, and that dull pressure sitting right behind your eyes like someone's pressing on them from the inside. You tell yourself it's just a cold — happens every season, drink some kashayam, push through work, it'll pass.
