What Causes Pressure In The Forehead When Diagnosed With Asthma?
I ve had my sinus deposits enlarged in my forehead for a couple years now. I suffer from asthma and sinus allergies but the swelling never goes away. Occasionally I will feel pressure in my forehead but other then that there is no swelling, no pain and no redness. What could this be and should I get this checked out. (Swelling is right in the location of the sinus deposits.) Thank you for your help!!

Hi,
Judging by your description, you seem to be suggesting the answer yourself, the sinus inflammation seems to be the most probable cause of that pressure feeling.
Such a symptom is very common in sinus inflammation and fluid build-up, so I do not think any investigation is needed. Unless infection is suspected, decongestants and saline irrigation is the suggested remedy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
