I would be concerned about shingles. Go to your ophthalmologist or internist and get on a course of Valtrex ASAP. If you turn out to have it, your internist can look for any immune deficiency you may have. Another possibility that your doctor can explore would be sinus disease, but I would be more concerned about shingles because antiviral treatment makes a huge difference in pain suffered in the post herpetic period.

This could be related to a number of things.

To name a few...sinus or muscle contractions.

The best thing is to get your eyes examined. The symptoms may pass and no treatment or monitoring may be necessary.

Best to make sure though.

You definitely should have this checked out, and as Dr. Reiter wisely suggested, there is a possibility of shingles. Best to go sooner than later since early treatment can make a big difference for you long term.

My first thought echos Dr. Reiter. Time is of the essence if this is in fact a shingles outbreak: it is important to get early treatment to avoid post-herpetic neuralgia (pain that continues long after the infection/flare-up has resolved). If the eye is involved there is also the risk of development of glaucoma later if left untreated for too long. Go see an eye doctor now! NOT next week.

These are vague yet potentially concerning symptoms. I would strongly advise a closer inspection by a qualified person - general physician and/or eye care professional (optometrist/ophthalmologist). Could be many things including a possible herpetic episode. A complete history and evaluation may help uncover this mystery. Pain is the body telling you to act - in this case seek professional care.

This warrants a visit to your eye doctor sooner rather than later.

I think that it is important to be examined by an eye care professional. Herpes is a consideration, but it could also be something simple like an eyelash that is misdirected, or possibly something else that is simple.

I certainly hope that I am incorrect in my assessment. This is a common location for the beginning of Herpes Zoster.

It often begins as a tingling at the upper eyebrow then follows the nerve down the nose.

You should seek professional care ASAP as beginning medical therapy might head off a severe attack. Good luck.

Herpetic condition is what I would suspect.

Go see an ophthalmologist or your internist as this appears to be shingles, in which case an anti-viral medication could help. But as Dr Reiter has summized, it could be any auto-immune deficiency disease.
