Question:
Hello Doctor,
I have been experiencing persistent forehead pain in the area between my eyebrows. It worsens when I press on it. The pain typically occurs around noon, and this has been happening for about 5 days. Before this, I had seasonal flu, but I have since recovered and currently have no other symptoms besides the headache. Could you please tell me what might be causing this frequent pain in the forehead area between my eyebrows? Thank you, Doctor.

Hello,
Regarding your question, “What could frequent forehead pain between the eyebrows indicate?”, here’s the doctor’s response:
There are many potential causes of forehead pain, including:
- Sinusitis
- Eye strain/fatigue (often due to prolonged screen exposure)
- Tension headaches
- Migraines
- Rare cases involving abnormalities or lesions in the brain
The diagnosis depends on the nature of the pain, its intensity, triggering factors, and what alleviates it. In some cases, doctors may recommend additional tests such as sinus X-rays or brain CT/MRI scans to confirm the diagnosis.
If your headache persists and/or does not respond to common pain relievers, it is advisable to consult a specialist in Otolaryngology (ENT) or Neurology for further evaluation.
If you have any more concerns about frequent forehead pain between the eyebrows, you can visit any hospital in the Vinmec Health System for further examination and consultation. Thank you for trusting and submitting your question to Vinmec. Wishing you good health!
Best regards!
