What Is The Solution For Pain Above Eyebrow Which Lasts For 20 Seconds?

I have this pain above my left eyebrow, it occurs roughly every 15-20 minutes. It is a strong pressure like feeling and last about 20 seconds and then I feel nothing. It does feel better if I push on the area during the episode. This is day #2. I do not get woken up at night from it though. when the episodes happen they stop me in my tracks.

Hello. thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. This pain above eyebrow could be due to
: Eye strain which usually occurs after decrease in visual acuity.

For management, you should consult ophthalmologist. You might need glasses. it usually resolves after glasses.
: Tension headache due to work stress/straining. It can be suspected if it is occurring while doing work/stress condition/using laptop or computer, dull aching.

For management, you should give rest to your eyes intermittently while doing work. You can take pain killer like Diclofenac sodium after proper prescription.
Good sleep also gives comfort
: Right frontal sinusitis. It is heaviness like feeling, more in cold environment/day time, associated with nasal stuffiness/post nasal discharge. It increases on bending forward.

For relief, you should
- steam inhalation four times daily.
- avoid cold condition
- drink hot coffee/tea/soup
- you can take cetrizine, paracetamol and xylometazoline combination for relief. take it after proper prescription.
- You should take antibiotics like co-amoxyclav course after proper prescription

You can relate your headache features and reach unto some conclusion. Hope it will help you. If still no relief, consult doctor. He will examine you and management will be decided after full evaluation.


Take care. Thanks.
