Worried about weird head pressure/ pain

Hi. I'm a 20 year old female and for the past two months now have had a headache. Its gone away for about 5 days at most but always returns. It started off at the very beginning one night when I felt like a thudding or hard pulse in my head. Soon after my head felt pressure and a dull ache. This intensified on and off and since then it has remained. The pain NEVER wakes me from my sleep and I have never been sick with it. However I have had waves of dizziness. I had a clear brain MRI six months ago (before this began).

My symptoms are:
Pain and pressure behind nose
Pain and pressure behind eyes
Pain and pressure in forehead and back of head
Pain in top gum that comes and goes

This comes and goes but is very annoying and quite frustrating now.

Does anybody have any idea what it could be?

I've been to the doctors and been tried on antibiotics for sinusitis and it did clear while i was on tablets but returned after stopping them. The pressure is most noticeable in my nose lately.

(worried it could be a brain tumour, GBM)

Hi again. I actually went to a&e today due to my right side lip drooping slightly. No numbness. I had blood tests and the doctor didn't really mention it just said my headaches and lip seems related to neurological so to ring my neurologist for a sooner appointment. But didn't seem worried/didn't want to seem to scan. Should I be worried? I do have a spot under my lip that has made it slightly swollen, could that have made my right side appear slightly drooped? (Spots on left side) any advice would be good. Thaks

I've had two brain two tumors and a sinus infection.  I'm guessing a sinus infection.
Get a neti pot. Or some sudefed. Avoid the antibiotics.
