Is Indentation On Upper Forehead Related To Sinus?
I have had sinus trouble for a number of years. Just recently it has been worse than usually. There is a feeling that something bubble like is stuck in the back of my throat. I also have a headache when I wake up in the morning. Today I discovered an indentation on myupper forehead about the size of a dime. Could this be related? I m on Fexofinedine (sp.?) and an acid reducer for my allergies/sinus problem.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Headache in the morning after awakening suggests frontal sinusitis.
Sinusitis is characterised by frontal headache, post-nasal drip, etc.
However, indentation of the forehead is unlikely to be due to sinusitis.
You need to consult ENT specialist for clinical assessment and X-ray of the head and face.
The nks and take care
