What Causes Pressure And Tingling Sensation In The Forehead?

I have been having weird sensations in my head for the past few months. It started with a feeling of light pressure and tingling on the right side of my forehead at random times of the day, only lasting a few seconds. Then a few weeks ago I started feeling the same thing in my right temple. Over the past few days those sensations have increased in pressure and duration and I also feel it in the back of my head and left jaw sometimes. I ve been seeing a cardiologist for arrhythmia but he says this has nothing to do with that (??). My primary doc thinks its stress related. I just want it to stop bc its very annoying and a bit unnerving. Can you share anything on this?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness, mild vertigo and blurred vision . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sinusitis , facial nerve dysfunction or migraine .

I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order CT scan of sinus along with taking history . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for 5 days along with anti inflammatory and decongestants .

Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for nerve dysfunction or migraine . For now take steam twice a day along with applying warm compresses to face .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
