hey, quick story, been getting this throb behind my right eye for about a month sometimes i would also feel a little pain in my cheekbones, this throb comes and goes, sometimes i don't notice it maybe its anxiety. I am also really allergic to dust if that has anything to do with the throb. But I have been to two ophthalmologists and my eyes were fine, my GP sent me for a sinus xray and said everything was clear and i had a brain MRI done and everything was normal. reason what im asking is could it still possible be a sinus infection that the x rays dident pick up. thanks

Hi, it sounds like either a tension headache or more likely a mini-migraine (cos of the tingling in the veins around your eye). It doesn't sound like anything to fret about. Ibuprofen should help provided it's ok for you to take it.
