Hello. I had a headache for two weeks that started out with just extreme pressure on the back of my head and ended on the right side of my head. Headache went away but I got a numb feeling around my right eye brow down to the bottom of my eye right after the headache went away. That lasted about a week. Now I have a sensation of something crawling down the right side of my face into my mouth. This intenses when I bend over to pick up something or to tie my shoe.

Hello,

When reading your symptoms the first diagnosis that comes in my mind is sinusitis.

The sinuses are cavities in the skull, covered by mucosae which can be inflamed and fill with inflammatory or infective secretions.

Frontal sinusitis causes a typical headache (a sense of fullness) wich is presented or increased when the head is bent .

It can be preceded by nose congestion. The sinusitis is at most cases easily diagnosed by an x-ray.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Olsi Taka, Neurologist
