So around the end of March I had a 2 week vacation, I did 4 days of diving over a 6 day period and then 2 days later flew to Toronto for a week. During one of those dives(3rd day I believe) I had an issue with sinus squeeze over one eye, it seemed to go away after a little bit and I thought nothing more of it. 2 days later I dove and the sinus issue was gone. Before I flew to Toronto I got a headache and have had one ever since(2 months now) It seems to be around my sinus and temple area. I have been to 4 different doctors and all have told me something different, tension headaches, eye strain but none will consider diving as a culprit. To date I have had blood-tests, which came back with an all clear, eye specialist which came back all clear, dentist, which came back all clear. I have contacted DAN and they don't believe that any of my symptoms are DCI related. I went diving 2 weeks ago and my headaches got worse, I also had minor sinus squeeze in one of the dives. I will be going back to the doctors tomorrow for the 5th time, have any of you had anything like this before?
 
Recurrent sinus squeeze and localized headaches points to a chronic sinus issue. I'd recommend seeing an ENT (ear/nose/throat) physician, who may order a CT scan to check for anatomic problems.
