sinus pressure

Stuffed head pain

Sinus pressure is the uncomfortable sensation of fullness or tightness in the face caused by inflamed or blocked sinuses.

It typically concentrates around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes, often accompanying colds, allergies, or sinus infections: I woke up with terrible sinus pressure and couldn't think straight.
