A member asked:

Pressure behind my eye and cheek bone. it's been off and on for a month+. could this be a brain tumor?

Extremely unlikely: More likely is that you have some sinus congestion, possibly from infection (sinusitis) or inflammation due to allergy. You should see a doctor for evaluation and treatment.
