Brief Answer:
Possibility of primary headache
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It's unlikely to get headache, numbness and pain due to allergies.
Allergic rhinitis may lead to frontal sinusitis and associated frontal headache.
If MRI is normal then non structural primary cause of headache should be considered.
Most commonly tension type and migraine headache are found in majority of cases.
If your headache is holocranial, pressure, numbness then possibility of tension type headache is more.
Is there any history of nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, increase on exertion.
Any family history?
Number of episodes.Any visual complains.
Provide these details also for further analysis of your symptoms.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
