Hi, The symptoms told by you of continuous pressure of forehead can be due to sinus involvement. However in sinus infection there is diurnal variation of pain and worsening of pain during cold is present. In your case no improvement following sinus surgery suggests there is other cause of your headache. MRI or CT of the sinuses and brain would give more information about your sinuses. Its more likely that your symptoms are stress related. Best of luck.
