Sinuses: There are two sets of sinuses. One set is called the frontal sinuses and they are located on your forehead where your pressure is. The other sinuses are next to your nose, these are called maxillary sinuses. I would definitely be evaluated for a possible frontal sinusitis.

Facial pain: You have sinuses directly behind your forehead, your nose, and your cheeks. Pain in those areas often worsened by looking at the ground can be symptoms of sinusitis.
