: I have been to many doctors trying to figure out what is causing my pain. First we thought I had sinusitus then I was tested and treated for allergies. Nothing is taking away the pain. I just went to another Ear, nose and throat doctor and he said everything looks fine. No one can find anything. My only other thought is that I am taking Ortho Tri-cyclen and wondering if this could be causing my problems. I started taking it in February and I can pinpoint my problems starting around there. Anyone else had this problem? This is my only hope. I have also been referred to a neurologist, but I wonder if he will find anything. Help!!!

You may have Pseudotumor Cerebri which is intracranial
hypertension. Birth control pills have been linked to this
condition.
