Attention: head pressure, pressure in head, headache people!

[Citizen T]

Hello everyone, after suffering for nearly 2 years with a mysterious neurological-like condition, I have almost given up all hope of living a normal life again. After a whole lot of research on the net, I have run into several postings with people describing my condition almost down to the exact letter. However, many of these posts are on some obscure website with the postings being months or years old. The purpose of my post here is to *hopefully* unite those of us who suffer from this unexplained condition.

The one symptom that seems to bond us all together is a constant "pressure" sensation behind the forehead and beneath the front top of the head. The way people describe this varies according to personal expression, but it is usually best described as an expanding sensation behind the forehead as if the brain is growing larger with nowhere to go. The headache is dull, non-throbbing, and does not get worse with exercise. The patient will also describe a sort of "perpetual dizziness" that may be constant or may come and go again. Usually, but not allways the patient will describe the sensation of having a constantly blocked nose even in the absence of any type of discharge or sinus infection. Most but not all patients will describe a feeling of tension or stiffness in the cranial muscles, especially in the forehead.

I had this terrible feeling of pressure inside my head for years as well as brain fog and various other odd symptoms. It progressed to the point I couldn't turn my head very far left or right and looking down was an issue. I was DX with with cervical instability and missing and slipped discs. Spine was fixed with plates and screws-no more pressure! Have a regular X-ray of neck with your head in turning positions, it will show if it's bad. I was 1 fall away from being paralyzed. Good luck!

I don't know if this will help anyone but I'm willing to try. I've had the head pressure for a few months my stiffness in my face is always there. Moves from my cheek to my jaw and around my nose. Feels like a heavy weight on my face I feel the muscles always moving as well. I've had so many tests finally found an answer I have Lyme. In case anyone has these issues get tested to make sure I wish I'd done it sooner. Right now I'm in treatment haven't noticed a change yet I'm hoping soon I will. Don't let any doctor tell you its all in you're head mine wasn't. When I finally got my answer it was a relief but my battle is just starting Lyme I know is tough to fight. So wish my luck and anyone reading this keep fighting. I know somedays will look bleak and with no end in site. Just keep holding on there will be a day when your not in pain anymore. Its what I keep telling myself everyday what gets me through until tomorrow.

Anyways wish you all the best I'll hopefully remember to check back here to write down how I'm doing. Keep fighting everyone.
