Headache and Migraines Forum - What is Causing Headaches?

I have had for 4 months now a pressure-pain behind my right eye, this pressure/pain also is in the bridge of my nose, It also accompanies a slight headache, in the mornings sometimes the pressure is very strong but then eases upon wakening. I have had an eye test and they said i was long sighted and eyes were perfect. The symptons get worse if i watch the tv/computer and even being a passenger in the car but it is not gradual it is instand. This pressure is everyday and has been for 4 months. I had a brain scan (as I was anxious because my father died of a front global brain tumour and the doctor thought it best to put my mind at ease) I also saw a neuroligist who did several neurology tests and they were fine). I have been back to the doctors and they were treating it as sinuses, so i have had nose sprays and now on antibiotics but nothing seems to be working. Could something not have been seen in the brain scan as no treatment seems to be working, could i have pulled an eye muscle or done something to the back of eye or could there be something at the very back of my nose as it feels like it is deep at the back of my eye and bridge of my nose. I am getting really really down and my children are suffering as I am so unahppy. Please can you help or advise

Headache, Migraines, Sinus Conditions Answer A216

It is good for you that you don’t have a brain tumor. I believe that besides long sightedness, you probably don’t have any other eye disorder (glaucoma) because the oculist would have detected one. I also believe that you probably don’t have another ear disease because the ENT-specialist would have also detected one. Both sinusitis and long sightedness can cause headaches, so you can treat them as they arise. If your doctor measured your blood pressure and made standard blood analyses, he/she would have told you that continual high blood pressure or anemia could cause headaches. If all your analyses are OK, the only possible reason for your headaches that remains is anxiety and stress.
