Yes, there are sinuses across forehead - right above eyebrows.


You could ask for a referral to a facial maxillary surgeon to discuss the FB as well as any sinus symptoms.

My only problem is that my asking resulted in a clear 'no'.

I remember about the forehead now - thank you!

Could you speak to the Consultant's secretary to find out how to get an appt.?

A GP cannot refuse to refer you if you see a consultant privately    Generally they would charge around £200 for an initial consultation - might be worthwhile

A GP shouldn't refuse but they may do if a) they don't think a referral is appropriate or b) if it will cost the Practice ……..

Something I have noticed just recently with my teeth is that they have become extra sensitive. I have always looked after my teeth and been told that they are in good condition. Am due to go back and have some old fillings replaced (only have 3) end of the month, and have been using a sensitive toothpaste for years. As I'm peri-menopausal and hormones have been off the charts for the last month, I'm guessing it's all connected.

It's the gums that recede allowing air/infection down there.

I have a session with the hygienist due tomorrow!

So did I!

I think it is very much connected. I am not sure if HRT has anything to do with it too. To me this was most shocking symptom - my gums going down causing sensitivity bordering with pain. Had all this covered with composite eventually - now each time I have my teeth cleaned they take it off bit by bit.. .  a vicious circle 

My cheek's feeling uncomfortable still...

Me too Kas - I've always had sensitive teeth but they have been more sensitive over the last three years or so (peri) - penny finally dropped - hormones again!

I found that Sensodyne really did help sensitive areas - put on with a finger as a paste and me, being cynical was not expecting to notice any difference!
