Have any of you dealt with this?

Sometimes as the plane is landing, I get a very, very sharp pain above my right eye (under my eyebrow) like someone is stabbing me with a knife. The pain lasts until we hit ground and doesn't go away for several hours after that.

As far as I can tell, this isn't linked to any specific plane-type, airline, or nasal congestion. The last time it happened was between London and Helsinki on Finnair.

The pain seems to appear sporadically, and I'm at a lost on how to predict or prevent it. Taking a decongestant 1-2 hours before landing seems to work -- but I can't be sure since the pain is unpredictable in the first place.

Any ideas?
