I'm really concerned about pressure in the front of my head, I've been to the doctors today and they think I have inflamed sinuses from my symptoms and have told me to do lots of steam inhalation to try and clear everything.
My question is can sinus problems cause headaches and bad pressure? I'm really worrying at the minute, I keep thinking I should go for an eye test but am too scared as to what they might find (I can't remember the last time I went it was years and years ago), I'm having pressure in the front of my head and top of my nose, my nose feels swollen inside and dry and is bleeding a little bit and one of my eyes feels irritated and a bit watery.
Trouble is I'm thinking about this all the time and I'm not sure how bad the symptoms are and how much my anxiety is adding to it.
I went shopping today and walked past the opticians and literally broke out in a cold sweat, I didn't even have an appt but it's just a reminder that I should go and can't because I'm petrified they are going to see a tumour or something.
I definately think I need to change my meds I don't feel like Fluoxetine is even touching my HA at the minute and I'm driving myself crazy.
Sorry for the rant just needed to get it all out there, can't say anything to family anymore they already think I'm completely mad!
