Hi there. I personally think that they can. In fact I just googled this very question myself and I'm having allergy/mild sinus issues the past few days. Additonally I've been having this tingling in my scalp on one side and sometimes even in my throat. It's been off an on over several days and very slight but still creepy. I've worried myself over "could it be a stroke" but calmed myself after reading about onset of stroke etc. Hopefully you're doing well now and the feeling is gone. Take care!
Yes, if there is enough pressure in the sinuses it can impinge on the facial or trigeminal nerve and cause numbness in the face. However, this would be a very severe sinus infection and any numbness in the face should be reported to your doctor immediately to help prevent permanent nerve damage.

You Have been having headaches almost everyday for a few weeks now A couple of times you have felt nautious and even got sick 1 time. you get a lot of pressure feelings in your head after getting up?
Chronic sinusitis or just a plain old sinus infection will cause pressure in your head and face. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it does not. Sinus infections can also cause you to feel nauseous or to get sick because of the mucus draining from your sinuses into your throat and stomach. if you don't think it is a sinus problem, migraines also come with nausea for some people but usually aren't associated with feeling pressure.
