Sinus or something more serious?

Question:

My husband has been having this weird pain on the right side of his face above his eye brow. It's a sharp pain that is so strong it makes him sweat. The pain only lasts for a few minutes though and comes and goes. At first I thought it was his sinuses since I am prone to getting sinus infections but it keeps coming and getting worse. I'm terrified it's something worse so any info anyone can give me would be appreciated

Answers:
sharp pains, don't usually originate inside the skull as the brain doesn't have that sort of pain receptors in it. So, doubt very much it's a "brain problem"....localized intense pain like that can be caused by migraine...by sinus problems...by tic doloreaux...and a number of other things. Would strongly suggest he see a doctor, personally I would see a neurologist myself, but at least a general practitioner can begin ruling some things out.

i would recommend that you send him to his physician and ask to have a CT scan done. with a CT they can tell if there is (God forbid) a tumor or if he has mucous build up and recommend that he see a ENT (ear, nose and throat) doc.

It may be what is called a cluster headache. I would recommend getting a doctor to look at him soon. I would recommend a referral to a neurologist from your family doctor; just ask your family MD to refer your husband to a reputable neurologist, most family MD's do not have a problem referring upon a patient request. Good luck and I hope all goes well. Hang in there hubby.
