Sinus Pressure and Pain

Swollen nasal passages and the build-up of mucus cause congestion. Swollen and inflamed tissues can also cause pressure on nerve endings around your sinuses and facial area. This leads to dull or throbbing pain and aches around the face, mostly above the eyes, below the eyes and in the back of the head.

Inflammation and swelling cause your sinuses to ache with a dull pressure. You may feel pain in your forehead, on either side of your nose, in your upper jaws and teeth, or between your eyes. This may lead to a headache and severe facial pain.

If you suffer from sinus pressure and facial pain, you know that this condition can seriously impact your quality of life, causing a range of symptoms from sinus headaches, pressure, pain to fatigue, depression, and halitosis (bad breath).

It’s a condition that should be addressed by a board certified ENT Specialist.
