Burning pain over left eye

The last couples of days I've had a terrible pain on my forehead above my left eye. It comes on quick and at first feels like pressure. Then it turns into a burning pain - like someone opened up my head and pored boiling water into my head. It lasts for a few min and then lets up. I've never had this type of pain before. It seems to come and go. My head is stuffed up and my nose on that side is stuffed up. Does this sound like sinus? I've had sinus problems before but nothing that hurts as bad as this does.

It could very well be allergies then especially if it is seasonal.  I went through a spring one year with a headache every day but no runny nose, sneezing, etc.  My doctor said it was allergies.  And I do notice that I get more headaches during allergy season both spring and fall.

I went to a Dr and she said it sounded like cluster headaches. That night I started getting dizzy and throwing up so my husband took me to the ER. They did a cat scan and said everything looked good. So I never did find out what it is. I don't think it's cluster headaches tho. It's not always on one side, some times it moves around and I always have a stuffed up head like it's sinus. Could it be sinus and the Dr can't see it? She checked my ears and eyes and said she didn't see any fluid in my sinus. I seem to have this every year at this time but not to this extent - not the burning feeling. I may go to another Dr. I couldn't get into my reg Dr because they were booked up so I went to a walk in clinic. I'm looking for a new Dr.

There are sinus problems and then there are sinus infections.  Have you seen the doctor to see if what you have is indeed an infection that requires antibiotics?
