Attention: head pressure, pressure in head, headache people!

[Citizen T]

Hello everyone, after suffering for nearly 2 years with a mysterious neurological-like condition, I have almost given up all hope of living a normal life again. After a whole lot of research on the net, I have run into several postings with people describing my condition almost down to the exact letter. However, many of these posts are on some obscure website with the postings being months or years old. The purpose of my post here is to *hopefully* unite those of us who suffer from this unexplained condition.

The one symptom that seems to bond us all together is a constant "pressure" sensation behind the forehead and beneath the front top of the head. The way people describe this varies according to personal expression, but it is usually best described as an expanding sensation behind the forehead as if the brain is growing larger with nowhere to go. The headache is dull, non-throbbing, and does not get worse with exercise. The patient will also describe a sort of "perpetual dizziness" that may be constant or may come and go again. Usually, but not allways the patient will describe the sensation of having a constantly blocked nose even in the absence of any type of discharge or sinus infection. Most but not all patients will describe a feeling of tension or stiffness in the cranial muscles, especially in the forehead.

I believe I'm going thru the same thing as u.    I'm going to talk to my doctor and put my foot down.  I'm a nurse which makes me more flustrated. I believe these symptoms are caused by intracranial hypertension.   Look it up on your computer and tell me what u think


Thanks, senaka

i have same symptoms like head pressure,problem concentrate,speech and memore, i been feeling like this off and on for 4 years .i am taken amitriptyline for like a year now,first 6 months i was perfect I wasn't in the pain at all and they also help me sleep at night and next 6 months some pressure came back,but it still is not so bad.I also tried feverfew(this stuff works great),butterbur,magnesium .I try to be outside more,fresh air helps a lot and try to eat a little healthier and green smoothie very good for you.Try not to worry and stress out as much about how you feel ,anxiety can give you head pressure to.
