What Causes Severe Pain Above The Eye?
I have a headache that centers on my left side only, about 2 inches above my brow. This has been ongoing for several months. Not severe pain, just persistent. Could a sinus problem cause this, or could it be something more serious? My father s brother died in his early fifties from a brain tumor.

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of left sided headache above the eye brow I am suggesting the following differential diagnosis
Migraine
Intracranial tumor
Cerebral hemorrhage
Cerebral venous thrombosis
In view of this please check your blood pressure and do the following test
CT SCAN
BLOOD CULTURE
FASTING BLOOD SUGAR
SERUM ELECTROLYTES
Meanwhile please see a neurologist specialist with the result and for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription
Moreover please take some analgesic pending your appointment
I hope this helps
