Head pressure

I was just wondering if anyone else had head tightness or pressure in there head daily....I have it on a daily basis and have had MRI's done and all is ok....they say there is a little bit of arthritis in my neck but everyday my ears are ringing constantly and my head feels like there is so much pressure in it....they just say its anxiety ....well if it is how do I get rid of it...I am on paxil and klonipin and it hasnt stopped it yet......it makes me feel very dizzy everyday and effects my vision also...been to 3 ENT doctors and they say all is ok except one ear I have less hearing than the other but not much....

It feels like someone has hit me side the head with a baseball bat or something....it hurts at the base of my skull and under neath the sheath of my skull....my neck just cracks and sounds like it is crumbling inside...just wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to help this or make it stop.....doctors look at me like I am crazy....maybe I am....thanks

I get like that too. My head feels all tingly sometimes too. I also had an MRI and all was good. When I had a bad anxiety attack I had that pain at the back of my head. I took Motrin and put an ice pack there.

I don't know what to tell you to get rid of it. Do you have pain in the top mid of your back too. I get pain in the sides of my hear, neck and back with tension heafaches that can take weeks to go away.

Have they checked you for vertigo?

Sounds like you may be really tensed up.  Stress can cause some massive headaches.  Also some anxiety meds can cause these symptoms in the first few weeks.
