Scalp Numb, Yellowish Nasal Drainage. Pressure On Eyes, Ear. Scalp Numbness, Sinus Pressure Connected?

My scalp has been numb for 3 days, I've had yellowish (now going more white) nasal drainage, and today the same side that is numb on the scalp, I'm experiencing what feels like sinus pressure, but my sinuses seem to be clear since I can breathe quite normally. The pressure extends from behind my right eye, to just above my ear and all the way down to one of my right side molars. The pressure/pain has increased slightly over the past 3 days, and pain relievers are not resolving the issue. I tried a mucus thinner, no luck, I'm not certain the numb scalp is connected to the sinus pressure. I spent the night at a friends, and they said I slept funny and that is likely why I am feeling this numbness, but after 3 days it should have subsided, not become slightly more intense. I have been very careful about how I slept these last 3 nights, and I have woken up on my back just as I had when I went to sleep.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding numbness over scalp for last three days.

Here I would like to suggest you to please get your blood pressure check, that may be a possible factor rather than sinusitis.Secondarily you should also be investigated for hypothyroidism.

It will be better to consult your physician for thorough examination and necessary investigations to pin point the diagnosis.

Regards.
