For the past 3 weeks i have not felt rite. I feel like I have a headache but it does not feel like a headache its like a pain behind my eyes. also my nose is so stuffy. I also feel like im just out of it. like my mind is elsewhere. i went to the DR 2 weeks ago and he put me on antibiotics. it was a 5 day dosage. I finished it 10 days ago and i still feel the same not better. I have bought sudafed PE for sinus headache and have been taking that for the past week. it works but my pain comes back. i am having trouble sleeping as well. I guess that just because i am nervous about what this is. I have an appointment with an ENT tomorrow I am going to see what he says. i am also going to ask for a CT Scan. I just hope its nothing serious.

I am wondering if you have an allergy condition. Allergies can raise all sorts of Hell with you. When mine are bad, my balance goes off, my thinking is foggy, there is pain in different sections of my head and, yes, it can effect the eye area.

It definitely sounds like it could be allergies (and this is the time of year for fall allergies like ragweed, etc). Have you tried taking an antihistamine like Claritin or Zyrtec (or the generic versions of either) - you can get either without a prescription at any drug or discount store and they should help knock down any allergy that's causing your symptoms.
