How Mold & Toxin Exposure Relates to Headaches & Sinus Symptoms

Our Approach to Mold-Related Symptoms

At our practice, we frequently see patients who've been told their symptoms—particularly involving the sinuses or upper airway—are caused by mold exposure. We understand how concerning this can be, and we’re committed to helping you find clarity and relief.

Understanding Your Symptoms

In many cases, we've found that symptoms initially attributed to mold exposure can actually be explained by other, more common and highly treatable conditions. These often include:

  • Migraines
  • Nonallergic rhinitis
  • Structural issues in the nose and throat

Comprehensive, Specialized Evaluation

Many of our patients come to us after consultations with providers who might not have had specialized training in ENT or neuroanatomy. When you visit us, we'll perform a detailed, thorough evaluation to ensure an accurate diagnosis. It's common for a patient's diagnosis to evolve after this detailed assessment.

Evidence-Based, Collaborative Care

We always provide our best, evidence-based medical opinion. However, we've learned that achieving the best outcomes requires collaboration—both provider and patient should remain open-minded and willing to explore alternative explanations and treatment options.

If you're seeking a thoughtful, evidence-based, and collaborative approach to understanding and treating your symptoms, we're here and ready to help.
