Temple pressure, shape alteration

[Jaredrl]

This may be a strange question but any type of assistance will greating help my mental and physical health.

I've been having strong, pressitant pressure on my temples and forehead for almost half a year now.

It's become a strain on my ability to focus and it's quite painfully.

I know my poor diet and lack of sleep can attribute to these headaches, also my doctor attributes it to starring at a computer all day (office job) and bad posture. Also mentioning that massage therapy might help.

But the source of the problem is most likely, along with the problems mentioned above, is I'm addicted to poy.

I'm now 21 and have been using pot daily for about 3 years, with a tendency to binge.

I am prone to being paranoid like many pot users but I've been noticing changes in my forehead structure for sometime now, playing it off as paranoia.

These changes I speak of, I believe, are in relation to the consistent and painfully pressure I've been feeling.

I feel as my temples are gradually concaving and sloping inwards more or as if I'm losing muscle tissue around my temple, forehead region.

Some symptoms are a buring forehead, bubbles poping underneath my skin and painfully pricks, as if a needle was being injected into my head. Also my forehead muscles are constantly tense as if some were pulling the front of my hair back or I'm permanently rising my eyebrows.

What scares me the most is that these symptoms arise the most after I've smoked pot.

I've tried to quit on these grounds but I can't convience myself that my forehead is basically shrinking due to this abuse.

From asking my doctors questions and frenquently surfing the web for any similar cases, I've begun to think my paranoia has gotten to me but can't shake this belief that my forehead is changing shape.

Any type of help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated as I feel I can't stop usless I have some type of concrete evidence.

Also I don't take any other drugs besides pot and alot of caffeine, I don't drink often but I'm also a smoker.

Thanks for your time.

Well I was hoping for some answers to my similar problem, but I see noone from the medical field is answering.  I too have been having constant pressure on both sides of my temple for over three months now.  I had a bout so traumatic my blood pressure spiked to catastrophic amounts.  I went to the ER they took CT and MRI with negative results.   I went to my family physician an alternate doctor gave me a prescription but it did nothing.  I went to a neurologist who recommended a chiropractor who I have seen on three occasions and seeing him for a fourth shortly.  Everyone is leaning toward tension, very poor posture, and staring at a computer screen.  I donot smoke pot,nor do I smoke, I have limited my intake of caffeine and I try to exercise frequently.  The unknown is the worst.  I just noticed that is I apply pressure by pushing on my hands the pressure in my temples is temporarily releived.  Also, when the chiropractor applies the deep, and I mean really deep massaging the pressure is relieved.  So I believe it to be muscle tension.  I just hope the medical professions can come up with a deinitive resolution.
