The best thing to do is consult a physician. You may just have something as simple as a sinus infection or even just tension causing your headaches. Sometimes high blood pressure can cause headaches. It is very, very, very unlikely to be a brain tumor. Make an appointment with your doc. Knowing is 1/2 the battle :)

Hi There
I've been having facial pain and headaches for a year now and they can't find the cause. I had an MRI last week as I paid for one as was so worried and the doc found nothing, but reassured me that in 90% of all cases, there is no cause for headaches found.

I would go to the docs, get an eye test and see whether there are any
issues.

You mention your jaw, so perhaps it is TMJ - misalignment of the jaw (not serious) can cause headaches and pain in the face.

I am sure you will be fine though xxx:winks:
