It really could be a sinus infection. The weather change, seasons and air quality can cause those. I get them alot. Does your heater kick on at about 8pm? There could be something in the ducts that's affecting your sinuses. It could also be a number of things:
Stress
Not enough water
No Caffeine or too much caffeine
Migraine
Do brain tumors run in your family? If you're concerned, ask your doctor to refer you to get some radiology tests (ultrasound / Catscan). Most of the time insurance covers it; and possibly get a referral for an allergist/immunologist. It's probably nothing serious, but we all think the worst when we're in pain.
maybe you have a migrane
You might have high blood pressure or something wrong with your heart. High cholesterol. See a doctor to check you out. I felt that way when I found out that I had high blood pressure.
it could happen due to stress, or it could just be a stage you're going through for your age, if you're not one hundred percent sure, just go to a hospital and tell them you want x-rays done, and they should give you one
It could be that you're just not drinking enough water. And, don't take Advil. Also, check your blood pressure.
try to see a doctor even though it may be due to stress don't wait until something bad really goes on
If he said it's a sinus infection, chances are, he's right. If you're still really worried you can ask a hospital but trust when I say I know someone who had a 6 month sinus infection then about a month ago, it suddenly disappeared.
There's not a whole lot you can do either way but a second opinion isn't the worst of ideas.
I use to have those same symptoms, found out that I had some really bad allergies. once I was tested I was told how to control these outbreaks.
You need to go back to the doctor and tell them.
Relax--- Your freaking out about nothing. Check out a drug store for sinus med dont over do it, start out small. Theres a reason for this. I will say a prayer for you. Calm down. God
Bless you.
Could be migraines, could be an infection or something serious. See a doctor asap.
a lot of pains come from the brain....i don't mean headaches, but....pain....if u say that something is wrong, your body believes you.....so you are more prone to having something go wrong......just say to yourself, its just a sinus infection....and it will go away...i have nothing to worry about....
but if your still concerned, go get a CAT scan or some other brain related test to see if there really IS something wrong...
