pressure on temples

Everything started about 3 weeks ago when I left work because of pain in my eyes and temples. I felt such a pressure like someone pressing in on them. I went to the ER and was told to see an eye doctor. Then had a cat scan of my orbits and sinuses and everything came back normal. I wonder if anyone had the same problem and maybe know what that could be.

Maybe 15 days ago I felt for the first time the same problem with pressure in my temples and eyes. I went to the eye doctor and had them checked and he said there was nothing wrong with my eyes. He told me it must be problem with my sinuses. I then had a CT scan of my orbits and sinuses and it came back normal. I took a 1 week vacation from work in which time my eye and temples pressure and pain disappeared and I felt fine. When I started back at work about 2 hours in I developed even stronger symptoms. I also couldn’t pop my ears when I try, and I have had this pain constantly for 5 days although it is a little better when I came home, and gets worse at work. Also I had experienced sunlight and sound sensitivity. My neurologist told me we should explore the possibility that it might be Migraine. I am still waiting to perform that kind of tests, but I could recommend you to visit your neurologist too.

are you sure it is not black mold?

Around January I started getting pressure around my eyes and at certain times a great deal of pressure on my temples. I am unable to afford to see a doctor so I was wondering if you could keep me updated on your condition. I have dealt with sinus problems over the past five years so Im wondering if this might have something to do with it. It seems to be worse when I am around different allergins such as cigarette smoke or mold.

For the last week I have been feeling generally unwell (like a cold/flu), but just now I started feeling this pressure (as if someone were pressing the palms of their hands on my temples)???? I too, have had persistant sinsus problems... maybe some relation? I always seem to have something wrong with me, or maybe I'm just a little too intune with my body Shocked

Anyways, I hope this isn't anything to be worried about?

I have had this problemfor about 2years now. I have tried everything. pain medication dosent work nor does relaxing or sleep. i went to the doctor and all came back fine. i used to have weeks without it now i have no days without this pressure. i am now going to try a psychologist as i have looked at my emotional condition...there is a possibility this could be emotional for you as well. I know that this is sometimes a symptom of depression...if youve tried everything else, try going to a pyschiatrist/ psychologist.

hope it helps
