Headaches? Ugh...

So, it's about time for me to have a suspicious symptom, and here it goes...

For about a week, I have been having (what I can best describe as) headaches. However, it is only around my eyes (a stabbing feeling), sometimes down the right jaw, and tends to happen in the evenings. I am having one right now, and this is the first one to happen during the day. I am not having any other neurological issues...

I tried looking up tension, cluster, and migraines, but it hard to pinpoint what this is. I asked my husband to give me an MRI, but I am thinking that might be jumping the gun.

I have had some sinus issues for months, and also think I may be clenching my jaw at night (and sometimes during the day). I am on day 6 of NOT taking Ativan to sleep--for the first time in 18 months. I have also started having some night hot flashes (from the Tamoxifen, I guess). They aren't too bad, and I can usually just wait them out without having to try to cool myself off. Oh, and business sucks during July. Lot of stress going on here.

Any idea if I should take Motrin and see what happens, see my PCP, get the MRI, or call my ONC.? I am not all that worried, but just waiting for one to happen is starting to get on my nerves.

Thanks, ladies (and gentlemen)!
