I am a 62 year old female and take sumatriptan for migraines. For the past 18 months/2 years I keep getting pain down the right side of my nose with flickering pain round my right eye. As with my migraine I often wake up with this pain but it can begin at any time. My nasal passages are clear, no discharge. Usual analgesia, aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen, do not work but I have found that sumatriptan stops the pain. The episodes of this pain are more frequent and I hesitate to use sumatriptan but have to as the pain just becomes worse and worse. My health is good otherwise and I just take statins for high cholesterol and HRT.
