Hi there,

Sometimes when we are anxious, we are tensing our facial muscles without realising it bringing on tension headaches. Have you tried relaxation excersises? if not then it's worth a try, especially ones that concentrate on the face, head an neck!!

Have a read through the forum hun as there are lots of handy hints in there!!

best of luck
Lisa

Facial pain around eyes and cheeks is often neuralgia - a nerve pain but nothing to worry about. Often if you are tense it can be worse.

Hi Louise,

I do not think you have a brain tumor but you could have a sinus infection, try a really warm washcloth on your face if it feels better go see a doctor to check it out. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Louise,I get pain and pressure around my eyes,cheekbones and the back of my neck and head. I think it is my anxiety and also i think certain medications make me feel like this. I also get blurred vision when i feel like this. Its really horrible. I dont think you have a brain tumour. Just tension maybe.Lots of love,Josephine.x
