Sinus Headaches:
If you feel a steady pain in the area behind your face that gets worse if you bend forward -- and if you also have nasal congestion -- you may have a sinus headache. This type can lead to:
• Deep and constant pain in the cheekbones, forehead, or bridge of the nose
• Pain that gets worse with sudden head movement or straining
• Pain along with other sinus symptoms, like nasal discharge, a feeling of fullness in the ears, fever, and facial swelling
Tension Headaches:
If you feel a dull, steady pain that feels like a band tightening around your head, you may have a tension headache. There are different types:
Episodic tension headaches (happening less than 15 days per month)
• Pain is mild to moderate, constant, band-like pain or pressure.
• Pain affects the front, top, or sides of the head.
• Pain usually begins gradually and often happens in the middle of the day.
• Pain may last 30 minutes to several days.
