Has anyone had any effective treatment for "head pressure"..... squeezing, tightness of head, not really pain.
My daughter suffers these symptoms (about 8 months now) and is being treated for anxiety/depression but so far none of the meds help her head pressure symptoms.
Has had MRI, CT Scan and Opthamology tests... all normal. Does she need a lumbar puncture to rule out any hypertension in the brain? Has seen 3 neurologists, endocrinologist, 2 ENT's.... she really feels none of this is anxiety or depression related.
Let the daughter do this breathing technique and you will notice positive benefits in days.You do it also and you will understand how the daughter is getting the benefit.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after 1 minute.
