15 years and no relief

[cheeseonionpasty]

Hello,
I went to the doctors 15 years ago with pressure in my head that had innitially started after exercising, it gradually progressed to where I had it constantly.  I had 3 MRI's done as the first two showed possible legions, the last one was clear so I was given anti-depressants.  I was only young at the time and took the pills for a couple of weeks, then decided not to continue as I wasn't depressed, frustrated with the pressure, yes, but not depressed.  I decided to try and learn to live with it and have done so for 15 years, it has been very difficult at times as the pressure never ceases.  I received medical help during an emergency last year which was a positive experience, so I have decided to revisit and address the pressure problem as I have not found any relief from it. Additional to the pressure in my head, I am now starting to feel it on one side of my neck and slight pressure in my chest.  Could you please advise me, could this be something simple that could be taken care of.  I'm a very optimistic happy person, I exercise regularly and eat well, my mindset has  helped me cope. However, some days are difficult, I'm not as mentally sharp as I used to be and I have to push thru to focus and work hard to stay attentive in conversations.


Sincerely,
Mrs. _

DEMAND more tests. Ask for another MRI. My pressure is intense and i have a pituitary microadenoma.i also have the burning/pressure in my neck and between shoulder blades. if you don't get results from one doctor, research and go to another. if anything, it will help ease your mind! I also have gone to a headache clinic and he said my pressure could partially be from nerve damage at the base of my skull. Maybe you could try a headache clinic? i am no dr, just trying to help someone as others have with me. good luck!!
