Question 1

pain in head whenever i lift my eyebrow and forehead area. is that sinus related?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Could also simply be tension headache.

Question 2

the back left side of my head hurts when i swallow and i've been experiencing some chest pain and strange sinus like headaches over the past 4 days. i'm really anxious whenever i go to the hospital and don't want this to be something bad?

Accepted Answer

Can see one's doctor: Swallowing pains can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or the flu (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies, irritants, or acid reflux. Usually, a person sees the doctor if such symptoms are bothersome, recurrent, or don't go away quickly. If one's chest has worrisome or increasing symptoms, the ER may be a better place to get seen.

Question 3

suffering from severe headache in the area of the left forehead above the eye including eyebrow. do you think sinus?

Accepted Answer

Yes or Glaucoma: The frontal sinus is located directly behind the eyebrow.  Alternatively, a glaucoma attack or chronic glaucoma may begin this way.  I would advise you to consult an ophthalmologist right away and then see an ENT doctor.

Question 4

forehead swollen above r eyebrow, esp towards the middle. no fever and nose not very runny, but could it be my sinus?lateralized headache there too.

Accepted Answer

Doubt sinus: Sinus should not make forehead swell- but can give a fullness feeling. Could be infection of the skin structures.

Question 5

i get really bad sinus headache. forehead, and behind eyes the most. i took a zyrtec will that help? head is hurting bad. can feel the sinuses aching. whats the best to take care of this at home?

Accepted Answer

See doctor : Sinusitis is often triggered by a viral infection or allergy - less often by a bacterial infection. Zyrtec may help some but you may also need steroid and decongestant nasal sprays - maybe an antibiotic

Check with your doctor

Question 6

can styes inside the lower lid of eye cause headaches. head hurts above eyes, on forehead, sides of temples and top of head.  or could it be sinus.

Accepted Answer

Stye: Styes are inflammation of hair follicles in the eye lids. Cause local tenderness and pain.  What you are describing is more like sinusitis.

Question 7

Nasal saline: Relieve sinus pressure with a humidifier and  nasal saline.  Treat fever with Tylenol rather than Motrin. Watch for signs of worsening respiratory symptoms, and then see the Emergency room.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I'm sorry, but we can't diagnose you from online.  Please see a physician who can properly take your history, examine you, and treat you.  Please do this as soon as you can -- sinus infections can worsen if not addressed.  Be well.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: I understand your concern.
I commend you for your concern for Health.
Since you are receiving treatment for Rhinitis, see your Physician for follow up and discuss your concern about sinus problem.
 It is likely that “Popping sensation in the back of head” is not sinus related, and is due to Anxiety.
Do Breathing and Music, Relaxation, Yoga, Meditation.
See a Psychiatrist for Therapy for Anxiety.
