Q: Maxillary Sunis

Hi, I've had this condition where a small part of my right side of my face muscle (right under my right eye) seems VERY TENSE. I keep wanting to press on it to make it stop, but it never stops (I find it very frustrating). So I Googled and Googled until I found out that the EXACT part of my body that feels tense is called the "Maxillary Sunis" (I saw the picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gray119 9.png ).

I have Migraines on my left side of my head and can't help but wonder whether it has anything to do with my muscle tenseness. I looked up sinusitis, but I'm not sure whether I might have it. I used to think there was something wrong with my nerves.

Does anyone know what's wrong with me? Thank you for reading my post...

do you have a stuffy nose or post nasal drip associated with it, and yellow mucous? Theses are signs of a Sinus infection. you may want to go and see an ENt.

Thank you...

I do have a stuffy nose sometimes when I wake up on a cold morning. I wonder whether the migraines have anything to do with the Sinus infection. My grandmother had a stroke and has been bedridden for over a decade so I am terrified of my migraines.
