pressure in my head

HI,
for awhile now i have felt a pressure in my head its not all the time. most of the days of the week, i also get dizzy, and sometimes get pains not headaches but just pain in my head also when the tiiest bit of pressure is put on my head it hurts like if i try to sleep with my arm on my head or just to lay with my arm on my head i have to move it because it is just to uncomfortable. I have no idea why it is happening and i havent been to a doctor about it yet because i figured it was because i was sick and i just had a head cold. but i havent been sick for a couple of weeks now and its still happening. I didnt want to go to the doctors unless it was neccasary. please help me. Thank you for your time.

u didnt tell us ur age which is important for this symptoms...however..most propaply its so easy condition  and called migraine
it could be treated by anti-migraine drugs like : Metograine, Migranil, Amigrane
taken as one tablet 3 times per day

but u should role out first hypertension (measure ur blood pressure)
Anemia (ur Haemoglobin)
stop drinking alot of tea and caffeine  and stopppppp smoking if u do
and i hope u will get well

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Head pressure can be due to sinusitis, allergy, high blood pressure, temporal arteritis, dental pain, TMJ, cervical nerve compression or due to tension.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Take care!
