Hi there. Your fullness of head feeling should not be taken lightly. It could be a hypertensive episode, a transient ischemic attack, hypoglycemia, dizziness due to possible anemia, stress, anxiety attack or an unruptured aneurysm. So this needs immediate medical attention by a neurologist last something serious is missed out.
Hope this helps. Take care and regards.
