Constant head pressure in the temples and eyes
Posted , 89 users are following.
I have had pain and pressure in my eyes and temples for almost a year now. My face feels fuzzy and tingly and I feel woozy a lot of the time. Nothing takes the pain away when it is really bad. Tried Tylenol 3's and oxycocet with no relief. The only thing that helped with the intensity of the pain was Inderal (Proponolol) which is a migraine prophylactic or a high blood pressure medication. It relaxes the blood vessels. Even on the medication I had times when I still felt woozy and my face felt fuzzy and tingly. I went off the Inderal for a while as it also impacted my Gastroparesis and I am trying Flunarizine another migraine medication but not having much luck. I still have the constant pain and pressure in my temples and eyes on both sides. MRI on the neck and head were both normal. Really frustrated as I feel awful pretty much every day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have been researching this condition for about a year now and I'm pretty sure I have found the answer.
Your problem could well be that your sphenoid sinus cavity is blocked. Sphenoid sinusitus is very different from usual sinusitus. Symptoms are pressure felt in the head, worse when bending or leaning forward, pain behind the eyes, headaches and a feeling of light headedness or dizziness.
I believe scans are often deemed normal when they look clogged as doctors need to see a high level of fluid or swelling. I'm currently trying to collect people's scans so I can compare them to see if they look the same. Already done this with 2 scans and both show a lot of clogging but were deemed normal.
I have set up an Email Group for sufferers of this and hope to solve this mystery once and for all and get people fixed.

i appreciate all the help and support I can get. I can't remember the last time I felt well and it is very frustrating trying to convey that to the doctors who don't believe I feel as awful as I do, pretty much every day.
thanks again.

If any new information is available please share. I've been dealing with all of these symptoms for over a year now and seen multiple doctors and nothing has helped so far. So frustrated at this point.

I also suffer from all of these symptoms after a bad sinus infection & sinus surgery. Please keep me posted on your research. I am in desperate need of relief. If it helps I live in the Chicago land area & I am a master automotive technician for 20+yrs. I have really been thinking of relocating to another climate like Arizona just to see if it helps.

Hi, please let me know what did found out from all your searches.
I am still suffering from head pressures and my sinusitis is worst and affecting my ears.
Last brain MRI showing mastoiditis air cell and that's probably what causing my dizziness.
Please let me as well as sent me group email.
Thanks

I googled your suggestion of Sphenoid sinusitis, I had been told by pharmacists to take Flonase and that the pressure was mucus, I didnt believe them. I didnt have a stuffy nose or any of the normal signs of mucus, just a very bad headache that wouldnt budge. I took the nasal spray Fluticasone Proionate (flonase) last night and Sumatriptan (Imitrex) and I am already feeling much better. Thank you for your post, it was a very good suggestion.

You should try Ultimate PAIN Fighter it has gotten rid of my headaches faster than anything else!!!!!!!
I suffered for years with migraines and headaches and now whenever I feel a headache coming on I put on UPF and it relieves it usually in less that 5 minutes!!! NOTHING has ever worked that fast for me!!!!! The best part is there's no drugs in it so no weird side affects You just gotta try it it's awesome!!!
