Hi been to a specialist ENT and had the camera put up my nose. I have an unusual anatomy (I have a small narrow nose for my age!) Which could be causing the problems. My left nostril seems completely blocked all the time causing pressure and tender sensations (with tingling ) in the left side of my skull, so much so my teeth and cheeks are very tender. If I lean on that side that side goes very tender. My gums are so tender I'm having a ct scan on the sinuses in April. Does anyone else get the above ?

    Yes, I have same symptoms, went to clinic and was told sinusitis and put on penicillin. However, on my 4th day of meds and not much improvement, plus I sometimes feel like passing out. Have head tremors too. Had ct, MRI. Just shows mucous retention, deviated spectrum, small Palip. And white matter on the brain. Neurologist says it is normal with age at 43. My ent says it's nothing and too small to remove. Sensation is like spasms in my nose and extreme pressure on upper palette and teeth.  Going back to see him tues and seeing a rheumatologist tues as well. (Since June) maybe your sinus. Try allergy  benedryl at night. Helps me to sleep and alliviates some pressure.

      Hi

      Yes I got all the heavy pressure in the upper pallet and sometimes a pressure in my lower jaws where it would be less than easy to open my mouth (my jaws feel heavy) .also it's tender just in front of the ears and when I bend my head back it's as though there's pressure in my back teeth and ears are too heavy. Been to dentist all okay. They've even mentioned the trigeminal nerve .we will see what happens at the ct scan.
