head pressure on top of head

[aoterfer]

Hi all ,

i am a male of 32 y.o.
I have been feeling a light pressure of top of my head (front head), sometimes left or right side, from the past 4 weeks.I felt the first sensation as my skin in front head was very tightness.
I can sleep ok, and feelings are reduced when i am on bed.
Nevertheless, I still feel this light pressure on head.I have tinnitus from a year and a half.But I hear perfectly and my audiometry its ok.
When I go for running, the feeling is higher because of exercise.
I would like to have some information of a Dr.it its possible.
Thank you very much and kind regards.

Alberto.

I have been having the same symptoms as alot of people ive seen on here and i am really worried. I have had head pressure, ear ache, worrying about a possible brain tumor, and worrying that my Ct scan may not have shown a tumor and that a MRI could.  I am 17 and i have been having head aches for the last two weeks.  I have had the head pressure which feels like my head being squished, my nose has pressure on it but its not stuffy, sharpness and fullness in my ear, my throat has felt tight like there is flem (phlegm) in it, i have had diarrhea, and since this has started all i have done is worried about it.  I heard that stress and anxiety could cause this.  I have also had the cat scan and been to the doctor.  I feel like the cat scan could have missed something and i want a MRI but the doctor says i don't need one.  I originally i thought this was a neck strain after my rough snowmobiling trip but my symptoms wont go away.  Also laying down makes my head hurt more and its very hard to go to sleep.  I haven't gone to school since this started because daily activities make this worse.  I was just wondering if anyone has had symptoms like this and if anyone can help me i would be very greatful
Thanks keith

Read about Intracranial Hypertension/Pseudotumor Cerebri.  I have this and feel pressure quite a bit.  You also have tinnitus with this.  It is an easily treated illness...just painful as you have headaches often.

I looked it up and it said other symptoms are vommiting and loss of eye sight.  I don't have either of those and I had a CT Scan and eye exam done which didn't find anything.
Thanks Keith

Hi all ,

I am really better from the past weeks.
I do not feel than "pressure.....".I have been with that feeling for more than two months.
I am sure that anxiety and stress can make them worse.
I am pharmacist, and as I know, the symptons of many things, may not be a pathology, just happens, and thats all.
I thing that being positive and good humour, things will go OK.
My tinnitus did not go away.But it does not make me any problem.
its just with me.I do not have any problem of hearing sounds.I can hear ok.
As many things in our life, doctors have answers for many pathologys, or sympntons.But there are many and many symptons that doctors do not have any answer.

I hope that things must carry on in the best way.

Kind regards.

Do any of you notice that the pressure sensation goes away when you touch your scalp?
