Random sinus nose pressure no other symptoms?
Posted , 17 users are following.
Hey guys, I have had random sinus pressure for the last few weeks. At the top of my nose near both eyes I've had this random pressure feeling. Barely any pain but every now and then a slight pulse of tiny pain in my sinuses, sometimes left eye or right or above eye etc but only a hand full of times a day. What happens is the first two hours after I wake up symptoms are best and feel great but as day progresses pressure happens on the bridge of my nose and gets worse until I sleep.
I have had doctor prescribe antihistamines which don't work, tried ibuprofen which also doesn't work. This is so weird it only annoyes me but doesn't really hurt at all. Pressure just seems to go away after I sleep but return about 2 hrs after I wake up.
No other symptoms and am healthy in every other way only thing stopping me going to doc again is the fact it doesn't hurt and no congestion no headache no nothing other than pressure there. What could this be? I noticed that when I wear glasses the bridge of my nose feels this same pressure but would go away from constant use of glasses and went away as soon as taken off but now it's just there about 70 percent of the day. Intensity alternates throughout day but majority of time it's worse just before I sleep.
Wtf is this I would go to doc but feels like this is just something that will go away. Everytime I go wow this is annoying and bad I think ok time to see doc but then maybe 15Min later dies down a bit and I'm like hmm maybe it will go away been like this a few weeks any ideas?

My sleeping seems about right, but far too long at the computer and not enough moving around, so will work on that.
Thanks Again!

You guys with pressure around sinus areas without other sinus symtpoms might press your teeth against at night.
The muscles are really near to the sinus areas and also nose bones which can lead to pressure and tension.
Its normal that sometimes it feels less and sometimes more because the muscles tension keeps changing. But if theres a base tension which came from the night teeth pressing or clenching it can cause several symptoms.

Well this could be a factor as i am a known teeth grinder at night. Not excessive but I know I do grind my teeth.

Hi Jack,
Sorry for the late reply, that could be part of it, I don't actually grind my teeth but I have been known to chew my gums at night, especially if I am stressed about something.

Hi, I'm 27, suffered with this last year around the same time (March/Spring) and on both times I'm unemployed, doing little exercise, a lot of laying down looking at a screen and that's basically it, it makes me think its tiredness of the eyes because of the screen and it does get worse while looking at the screen but might just be cause I'm focused. What's more strange to me is that this last time I've been having it day yes day no, without fail. I'm sure tomorrow I'll wake up just normal and then after dinner time it starts coming and then in the next day is right from the morning. pretty annoying but no pain, like a curse -.- i hope you people get better

Hi everyone, this will be lengthy, I have a combination of every symptom mentioned here. I'm from Mobile, Al. I am legally blind in my right eye after a massive trauma. I visited 3 local ENTs, an oral surgeon, a dentist, multiple eye doctors, a tear duct specialist, and I am currently in Baltimore at John Hopkins trying to find an answer.
Because the trauma to the right eye, I wear Costa Del Mar sunglasses constantly while outside. I have crackling in my ear, tightness in my nose, thick saliva, a tight jaw, and the only relief i ever find is popping air out of my right tear duct area. I've tried NSAID, narcotics, saline nasal spray, artificial tears, steroids, antibiotics, antihistamines, Afrin, Flonase, Clariten, Singulair, muscle relaxants, Gabbapentin, Pregabbalin, anti anxiety medicines, medicines to increase saliva, and the list goes on. I have GERD, bad breath, and constant post nasal drip. The symptoms only continue to worsen as time goes on. I work both outside and on the computer daily. I vape and was a user of Marijuana daily for over 10 years until it just made the symptoms worse so I recently put it down. Ive had MRIs, CTs, Xrays, hearing tests, and countless examinations.
Even the best ENTs in this country have no answers. At this point I feel mentally ill.
I have a HIGH stress job and don't exercise nearly enough.
From reading this, I feel at least some relief that I am not alone in this, and may not be insane.
I just wanted to share my experience and let you all know,I WILL FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS.
So far a massage therapist and chiropractor have been the only true relief that Ive gotten but it never lasts.
When my mind is busy, it seems like the symptoms slack off, as soon as I sit down to relax, they come on 10 fold.
My questions for all of you:
Do you all have persistent shoulder/neck pain?
Does anyone experience numbness in their arms, legs, back?
When my stress is at its worst, my neck and shoulder tighten, and the symptoms hit like brick wall. This makes me believe its nerve related.
Ive noticed the nerves in my bottom lip under my K9 teeth get very prominent, my right fingers tingle, my right leg tingles, my back tingles.
If this really is from stress, I think I'm doomed.
The only other idea i have left is Binocular Vision Disorder, which I noticed someone else in this forum mentioned as well. This would make sense as my right eye has a macula off retina detachment and cannot interact with the other any more.
Thank you all for sharing, it at least gives me some hope that by improving my health may improve this maddening situation.

I've had this problem with the exact same symptoms for 10 months now, and it's been really annoying. I have my second ENT appointment tomorrow, so I'm feeling apprehensive. Did any of you get any answers? I honestly thought, until now, that I was losing my mind and imagining this.

Unfortunately I never ended up getting any answers. I did grind my teeth so maybe look into that as the cause. I kept myself distracted and overtime over a few months it just disappeared. I haven't had symptoms for a few years now so don't lose hope if the doctors can't find anything wrong. Good luck and I hope it goes away for you soon. The crazy thing is if I think about this feeling in my head I can actually induce it into my nose again. So some part of me thinks that this may be a feeling that I am amplifying the more I think about it. Hence why I didn't notice it if I was distracted.
