I'm 23 and this started happening about a month ago. At the time I was sick and thought it was just my sinuses. But even though I'm no longer sick its still happening. I mostly feel it when I bend over to put my hair up or look under something. Yesterday my left nostril started randomly bleeding. Ive also been having problems with my left eye (pain,dryness, drooping eyelid), I've also had pain in my left cheek and above my left eye. I'm going to see my doctor in about a week. Its relaxing almost knowing I'm not the only one. My boyfriend keeps playing it off and saying its nothing so its kinda nice (in a very sad way) to know I'm not the only one.

The symptoms you are experiencing, including burning in your head, nosebleeds, pain in your eye, cheek, and above your eye, and a drooping eyelid, could be indicative of a number of different conditions. It is good that you are planning to see your doctor to get a proper diagnosis.
Some possible causes of these symptoms include:
1. Sinus infection: A sinus infection can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, pain or pressure in the face, and a headache.
2. Allergies: Allergies can cause similar symptoms to a sinus infection, such as nasal congestion and a headache.
3. Migraine: Migraines can cause head pain, eye pain, and other neurological symptoms.
4. Facial nerve damage: Damage to the facial nerve can cause facial pain, drooping of the eyelid, and other symptoms.
5. Other neurological conditions: Other neurological conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia or multiple sclerosis, can also cause facial pain and other symptoms.
Your doctor may refer you to a specialist if necessary, such as an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) or a neurologist.
