You may want to get your neck checked out. I had my neck worked on by a chiropractor - not a lot of cracking, just slight adjustments and gently stretching the muscles of neck and shoulders -- and my sinus issues and headaches and fuzziness really improved.
And this for someone who's had sinus infections since childhood.
Here's my homegrown recipe for dealing with sinus infections (I fought one off last weekend):
1. A big glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (NOT baking powder) dissolved in it -- to cut the acidity in my system
2. Two cayenne-garlic capsules that I get at CVS -- to help clean out my digestive tract
3. Apply pressure to 3 points on my face -- one between my eyes, one under each of my eyes -- where it hurts, I press. My sinuses begin to drain after about 15 minutes. Not sure why, but it works for me.
In general
Cut down on processed sugar and "cheap carbs" -- processed sugar "gunks me up"
and carbs like bread make me feel terrible after the initial sugar rush has passed
Good luck and stay safe

What happened: Sustained mild TBI #9(+) in 2004 when I fell down a flight of stairs and smacked the back of my head on the steps. Knocked out briefly, then bounced back and resumed everyday life, as usual. Then things fell apart -- lost my job, friends disappeared, spouse became terrified of me, money flew out the window, and I had no idea it was all happening, or why. Finally put things together in 2007, when I was researching brain injury for a family member. Have been actively working with a neuropsych and recovering since late 2007, with amazing results I never thought possible.
I blog about this at
