Question 4

i had tooth14 pulled 6 wks ago & now i have pressure pain, pain in nose & eye on left side. could having upper molar pulled cause sinus problems.

Accepted Answer

Maxillary Extraction: In certain instances the extraction of a posterior maxillary tooth can cause sinus problems. It is not that common. The roots may have been long and they may have extended into the sinus... only your surgeon knows for sure. Your sinus issues and pain may not be related to the extraction, but unfortunately it may take more time for the pain and pressure to resolve if they are related.

Question 5

Sometimes: There are many reasons you can feel pressure in the head.  

Rhinitis and sinusitis can cause pressure, but most often not.  You may want to see a doctor to sort it out.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

ENTorAllergy: Most primary can treat most but if recurring and treating as well as using nasal steroids to try to prevent problems from recurring and still happening then need to see ENT or Allergist.

Question 7

if you have bad sinus problems and you have a cold, can it make your face feel overly stuffy and pressure around your head and eyes?

Accepted Answer

Yes indeed: Sinuses shoul be full of air.  If they fill with liquid, you develop those symptoms.

Question 8

is there a test to see if your head pressure is due to sinus problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The most sensitive and accurate diagnosis can be achieved by a physician - simply by asking you questions, and by thoroughly examining you. If an ear, nose, & throat doctor (otolaryngologist) still has questions after that, imaging studies (x-rays or ct scans) can help them sort things out.

Question 9

i'm getting myself in an anxious state that i may have a brain tumour? i feel foggy headed, head pressure and sinus problems. please help.

Accepted Answer

Reassurance: None of what you describe would make me consider a brain tumor.  Sinus problems can be readily reversed, and you likely could benefit from treatment of your anxiety issues.

Accepted Answer

Migraine?: If the issue is not your sinuses you should see someone to see if your symptoms might be migraine related.
