Everything I've read above as far as head pressure fits my problem. I am almost 50 years old, and have always been very healthy, not over weight, never smoked, always active, never on any meds other then taking one 1mg of Ativan to sleep at night after my Mohter passed away two years ago.I don't even think it works anymore, because I am now having a hard time getting to sleep again. No excuses as to why I may have this constant pressure in my head, other then tension and anexity. It all started after my daughter got married in Oct of 2006. Yes, it's been going on that long. It was a stressful time, but it only added to the usual stesss in my life. Now that the wedding is over, I still carry a great deal of stress and for good reason. I worry constantly about everything, and I feel this pressure is due to that. I wake up in the morinng feeling ok, but as the day goes on around 2pm, it starts to come back, and by the time aI go to bed , it's sometimes unbareable. I need to squeeze my head to feel relief! I do not take medication very well, and don't believe in a lot of what they offer for anexity or stress during the day becuz I always feel so tired on all meds. For the past month, I have been experiencing a raipd heart beat for no reason. Sometimes I can't walk very far without my head feeling like it's going to explode, and my heart is going to beat out of my chest. Had a CT, everything was clear, had a EKG, everything is ok there too. I'm at a loss and tired of doctors guessing as well. Used a nasal spray becuz my right ear had fliud in it, but it never took the head pressure away. Is this something I need to live with due to simply stress? I know stress can affect people in a horrible way, but there are times when I do realx, and don't worry, but it NEVER goes away. Any suggestions???????
