Chronic Pain – Head, Face, Cheekbones

Suffering from chronic pain (Forehead, temple, scalp, top of head), constant facial pain (Below eyes, around cheekbones), sometimes discomfort in eyes. Pain in eyebrow area, forehead, temples, cheekbones, scalp, been for past 6–7 years, intensity varies, but pain is 24/7. I have consulted Neurologists, ENT & General Medicine Doctors, undergone Brain MRI, CT Scan + X-Ray of Paranasal Sinuses. Reports here. No help. My Observation-Discomfort & pain increases in cold AC environments. Symptoms worsen when I suddenly get into my car & start driving. I experience a stabbing pain around the forehead & cheekbone area. Pain increases when I bend my head down/ look downward while doing something for long periods. My head feels heavy when I wake up in the morning. Have moderate snoring issue (~6/10 in severity). Discomfort & pain increases when I wear spectacles. Not very sure-the discomfort increases while watching TV or eating. I have moderate-severe dry eyes. Chronic Tinnitus for past 7 years

Depression stress

In depression (primary) or secondary cause( inflammation, medicine drug withdrawal, migraines, headaches), low nutrition etc, is there any death of brain cells? As one online resource was saying that inflammation causes depression and leads to loss of brain cells. Is there any loss of brain cells in stress, anxiety, depression? Yes or no? Reversible or irreversible? Rtms and psych meds cause any harm? Loss of sleep due to neurotransmitters imbalances for any reasons, causes loss of brain cells(any)? Please guide correctly. In physiological stress and mental stress, breathing becomes shallow and rapid. Does this cause any neuronal loss or damage due to less oxygen or brain maintains oxygen? Please let me know. Stopping of psych meds causes serotonin to drop and causes headaches. Does this reduce blood supply to the brain causing any memory issues or no?
