pain around right eye and nostril when moving eye

hi, i have this pain around my right eye   for about 14 months now, it comes and goes,id have it for about one week then it stops for about a month, then comes back again for a week and so on.
the symptoms are pain around and behind my eye when moving the eye or blinking.
its a dull like  muscle pain every time i move my right eye and sometimes gives me a pain in my right temple and forehead and cheek  and when i breath in through my right nostril hard i get a mild pain like a cold sensation up throught the nostril and around the eye .i have a deviated septum so it gets blocked easy.
no swelling or redness in or around the eye,
my vision is perfect.
i had a ct scan of my sinuses, everything was ok,
had my eye checked by a ophthalmologist he could not find anything wrong with my eye.
though i went to the ophthalmologist when i had no pain so i dont know if this would affect the test.
what should i do next, is it serious?
i hope you can give me a diagnosis for this terrible pain that makes me want to just lie down and sleep
thank you

robert

I would see a neuro-ophthalmologist (your ophthalmologist can refer you or you can find one at www.aao.org) or a neurologist. When you see them ask them to rule out "Cluster Headaches" that can cause the symptoms you describe.
