Hi all. I am new to this board, so hopefully someone can give me some ideas on the symptoms I am having. For the last few months I have been experiencing a feeling of head pressure and tingling on the top and sides of my head, and occasionally on my neck. Occasionally this tingling and pressure will turn into a headache by the end of the day, which Tylenol helps. When I do have the headache, I occasionally get naeusous as well. I also have a ringing and sensitivity to noise in my right ear. I have had the other symptoms on and off for a few years now (mostly off, fortunately), but the ear ringing is new since I stopped taking the SSRI Zoloft for anxiety (I was only on it for about a month before tapering off). Also, my back, around my shoulders, hurt and tingle on occasion as well, and I just have a general feeling of unwellness.
As some background, I do have high blood pressure, controlled by taking Toprol-XL, a beta blocker. I also have a history of anxiety. My mom and sister get migraines with aura.
I had a CT scan the other day, but don't know the results yet. My Neurologist thinks it may be migraine related, but I admit I am skeptical because I don't get the Aura, and it doesn't always turn into a headache - sometimes my head just tingles all day.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or has anyone had similar experiences?
Thanks!
Mark
