Question: Pressure and burning over eyebrows and on top of head?

Answer:

Full Question:

I have been experiencing what I thought was a sinus infection; started with extreme pressure over my eyebrow bones and it hurt to roll my eyes, kind of like when you are getting over a cold. Then I began with a burning pressure on the top of my head. Went to Dr. and he said it wasn't sinus infection because of no cold or drainage, no fever either. Said to use DayQuil during day and NyQuil at night. Continuing to hurt but pressure over eyebrow bones lessening while pressure on top of head has turned to burning and continued pressure. At a loss as to what to do. Extreme fatigue as well. Thanks for any suggestions.
 

 

Answer:

Hello;

It's time to go back to the doctor. If your doctor can't help, then it's time to get a new doctor. There are any number of things this could be, but it's impossible to even suggest possibilities to discuss with your doctor with no more information than you've provided.

Good luck,
Teri Robert and John Claude Krusz
