That's the second time pseudoephedrine and Sudafed have cropped up recently:as it's a decongestant,if you feel the need for it perhaps it's not a good day to dive? Or try Olbas oil instead.

Ian, you sound like a medical practioner; I'm not (I'm a research scientist) but from previous experience I have a suggestion Re Nitrox's orbit pain, jump in if you've any comments on the medical accuracy; according to one of my old colleagues from Dental Sciences (a consultant in oral-maxillary surgery), it may be related to a problem in another area of the head:  The trigeminal nerve links the areas of ears, eyes, upper and lower jaws, so it's not impossible that e.g. an ear problem can manifest as pain in your eye.

'Trox, perhaps give your diving a rest (heresy!) for a week or two in case you've got some low level infection, if the problem is still there after a break I'd suggest you see a neurologist just to be on the safe side.
