Sinus?: You could have a sinus infection - usually that would be accompanied by nasal drainage or stuffiness, cough, fevers, sore throat. Sometimes migraine headaches cause facial pain and headaches. It can also be TMJ (jaw joint problems) or inflammation of a nerve in your face (trigeminal neuralgia). Better see your doctor or go to the urgent care to get a diagnosis.

Sinus HA poss BUT---: Though I must say that my colleagues are correct in suggesting your symptoms COULD be due to sinus infection I must point out that people who complain of facial pains or even SINUS PAINS and PRESSURES only TRULY have SINUS INFECTIONS as the primary cause 0.5% of the time. Sinus headaches are the MOST incorrectly and OVER-diagnosed of all headache types. READ ALL THAT AGAIN PLEASE--

Midface migraine: Although migraine is usually considered a headache, it can also present as pain in the teeth, jaw and/or the maxillary sinus which often confuses the diagnosis. Patients may even present with secondary autonomic symptoms such as nasal stuffiness. See Orofacial Pin or headache specialist.
