For months, now, I have been having severe pressure behind my eyes, in my ears, and above the roof of my mouth. I also often have spells of chills (with no fever, usually below normal oral temp), cold and numb extremities (fingers, toes, parts of feet) and other areas just cold (nose, lips, and eyelids), a wired/dazed feeling, difficulty speaking, and tightness in my chest/abdomen.

Until I was about 20 (i'm 26 now), I got sinus infections twice a year like clockwork. So, I have lots of experience with sinusitis, and this feels very different. For instance, I have no fever, little or no drainage (and what I do have is clear), and rarely any sinus pain, just the severe feeling of pressure.

This has begun to affect my life quite a bit. I have great difficulty concentrating, little sex drive (i am married and monogamous), and I can rarely relax or sit still.

I do have herpes and shingles outbreaks 2 or 3 times a year, and spent a year in the middle east in 2003-2004. I can't remember having any of these symptoms prior to that, but I did drink quite a bit back then (part of the military lifestyle), but quit drinking completely in late 2004. I also dropped about 20 pounds shortly after returning to the states, and have since stayed about the same weight. I eat very healthy, avoiding fast food and glycemic carbs (as much as possible, no sodas, etc).

Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I'm starting to feel like a hypochondriac, every time I notice a new symptom.
