Brief Answer:
Sinus involvement

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Based on the description you provided, the pan either could be a tension headache or there could be sinus involvement.

First I would like to suggest you to rule out the sinus problem by consulting an ENT specialist for second opinion. If the sinus appears normal, taking mild anxiolytics with muscle relaxants for a week would surely help you.
