What Causes Pressure From The Temples To The Nose?
Hello I am a 30 yo female. I have been having pressure in my temples to nose area. Pressure and disorientation, slight imbalance, and dizzy spells occur. Seen 3 different specialists ENT, Internal Medicince, and Balance hearing specialist. and they said possibly a viral infection. THIS IS DAY 17 and I am on Prednisone (spell check) and I feel cloudy head pounding. I am on day 3 of taking this steroid. I am running out of patience and just want an answer as to why my body is not getting rid of the constant pressure

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per query you have symptoms of pressure from the temples to the nose which seems to be due to persistence of infection and infection through post nasal drip spread down the respiratory tract and can cause chest congestion. The symptoms can also occur due to cluster headache or migraine. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay to prevent further complication. Doctor may order sinus X-ray and blood and sputum test to find out exact cause and can start treatment accordingly. Doctor may also chest ear with otoscope .You should drink glass of warm water with one spoon of honey in it. Avoid intake of cold beverages and outside food. You should take diet rich in probiotics and fresh fruits.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
