So, I've been going a bit crazy lately! After weeks of daily headaches and some other strange symptoms I'd totally convinced myself I had a brain tumor or something equally awful. I'm trying to explore the more logical options while I await a neurology appointment and wondered if my symptoms could be sinus related?
I started having frequent headaches, normally over/around one eye (don't think they are migraine as more of a dull persistent ache), eye pain (a horrible bruised feeling especially when looking to the side, again mostly in one eye) and a twitch(in the same eye). Also had pain across my forehead and occasionally bridge of nose and face. No obvious congested or blocked/runny nose though. Just before this I'd had a bug/virus and a couple of weeks before that I'd had a head cold and nasty cough.
After about a month of the headaches and eye pain getting increasingly worse and more frequent, they suddenly eased off. For about 2 weeks I only had the occasional mild headache and the achey eye feeling. Now they are back :( This time I do have a cold/cough but as that's clearing up the headache and face pain only seems to be getting worse. Quite often the area where my eyebrows are and the bit between my nose and eye feels tender to touch, even if I don't have a headache.
Could this be some sort of sinus issue do you think? Is it possible to have a sinus problem without runny nose etc and would it come and go like this rather than just being constant? If so what can I try to get rid of it?
Really appreciate anyone who has made it to the end of my ramblings and any replies!
