I been experiencing pain in the middle of my forehead and behind my eyes for several months now, thought it was just a tension headache ?

It might be...: Tension headaches usually have a description of "tight vice-grip" feeling along the forehead. Many things can mimic this including dehydration, menses, stress, infection, and inflammatory syndromes. Medications can also do this. Go see your doctor and get checked out.

Neurology evaluation: Consultation with a neurologist who specializes in headaches would be your best bet. Severe headaches can turn into a very chronic and debilitating condition if not treated appropriately.

Eye Possibilities: There are many possible causes for headache in this area, and I agree with getting a general medical exam as well as possible neurology. It is useful to also get an eye exam to rule simple causes such as eyestrain related to uncorrected refractive error and other causes specific to the eye such as ocular or orbital inflammation, and ocular alignment problems. The exam may help direct the work up.

Maybe migraine: Since it troubles you, may be of value to explore if this is due to sinus or nasal issues, dental or jaw problems, or even migraine. Appropriate answers can lead to successful control of your pain.
