Hi everyone,
I have a question: Can allergies cause weird head pains. For about three months I've been having a dull, sometimes sharp pain on the left side of my head. Sometimes it's in my forehead, at the top left of my head, bottom left of my head, or right above my left ear. Every day I do have some sinus drainage, I sneeze about three times a day, and some days my eyes really itch, but I don't seem to have 'severe' allergies. My doc had me get a CT done just to be safe, and it came back normal. The pain is not severe but is an extreme nuisance. I have an allergist appt in August and am hoping I will get some answers. But, if any of you have ever heard of this I would really appreciate your replys. Thank you so much.
P.S. I should mention that I'm NOT having any dizziness, nausea, vision problems, etc. JUST the head pains.)
Thanks,
Stella

Hi,
I found this post in the archives.
I have been having an intermittant pain on the left side of my head just above my ear, as well. It only lasts for a few seconds at a time, but it is a sharp pain. I have also had a sinus infection(or what my dr. calls a sinus infection) for several weeks. Does anyone else get these pains with sinus problems?

absolutely.

I usually get a dull pain in my forehead, or just above. Sometimes behind the ears, and sometimes around the eyes. It's all sinus related.

this has been going on for 7 weeks now. To top it off, I caught a cold this week, and it's only aggravated things more.

I find that irrigation helps somewhat.
