Can Blocked Tear Ducts, Be Related With Lumps On Eye Brow?

I have a headache and sinus pressure. I recently went to my neuromuscular therapist who pointed out that I might have blocked tear ducts. He worked on them. This was on Friday. Today, I feel lumps under my eyebrows when I put pressure (up under my eye but over my lid). When I push on them they hurt. What could this be (tear duct or sinus issue).
