Plus I have chronic headaches and the last one lasted a good 5-6 days. Maybe it was a migraine. I dont know the difference between sinus and a migraine. Although I have had sinus headaches that last a good 10 days and I didnt think migraines last for 5 days.

Sweetie, take it from me, migraines will last as long as they want!! My worst was 9 days. My mum has had them for 3 weeks at a time. A migraine has more symptoms than just pain - sensitivity to light and sounds, nauseau, upset stomache, halos or blurred vision. "Silent" migraines have no pain, just auras, and can sometimes affect your speech, cognative thinking and manual dexterity. I've had them all.

How is your blood pressure? If its low, that can trigger headaches. Are you staying hydrated even though you're not eating much? I drink at least 3 litres or 100 oz of liquid every day to stay hydrated - no caffeine - peppermint tea, lots of water, or juice. If I don't, I will have a migraine in the next day or so. When I get a migraine I'll drink extra and add Gatorade or Vitamin water to my mix to rehydrate.

I was in a really stressful job for 6.5 years and the last 2 years were aweful for me IBSwise. It took quitting my job and starting over in a new career to get my IBS under control. It took 2 years to get stable. It's a slow process.

I wish you lots of luck and happier tummy days.
