Maybe you think you have sinus headaches when what you really have are migraines... 90% of “sinus headaches” are migraines.

The reason for the confusion and misdiagnosis is that migraines share the same symptoms as a sinus headache - stuffy or running nose, sinus pressure, sinus pain and watering eyes.

Treating yourself with nasal decongestants (when you don’t have a sinus headache) is definitely not a good idea as it can lead to rebound (medication overuse) headaches.
