Yes: You need not have post nasal drip to have a sinus pressure headaches. You do not need ear pressure either. Many times ear pressure coincides with sinus headaches, but it is not mandatory.

Yes: Postnasal drip: Every day, glands in the linings of your nose make about a quart of mucus each day. The excess can come out of the nostrils -- that’s a runny nose. When the mucus runs down the back of your nose to your throat, it's called postnasal drip. http://www.webmd.com/allergies/postnasal-drip
