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

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 agree amalgams are toxic and dangerous. To have them removed properly is so important. I had mine removed 12 years ago and the dentist did not use proper protocol. Head aches, depression, brain fog and a host of other issues have ensued. Over the last 8 years I have been to the doctor to many time to mention, had CAT scan, MRI, 9 different medications, diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, bipolar, depression, pressure in the forehead, ECT. A year ago I went to my doctor and told him I thought it might be from having my amalgams taken out and he said absolutely not. I finial went to a naturaopathic doctor and he said mercury poisoning. Went to two other ND's and they both said the same thing. I started chelation lst week and am looking at 3 to 4000 dollars to fix the dentist screw up. This is a real nightmare and I stress to get the amalgams removed properly. There is a lot of crap on the internet about mercury detox and amalgam removal. Go and see somebody how is a professional.

Baminofambo is right. Many medical problems today are amalgam or mercury related. I had mine remove 12 years ago and it has been a nightmare ever since. The  dentist did not use proper protocol. If the medical or dental community admitted that amalgams are as toxic as they are the largest lawsuit in the world would be filed. Not only that but the pharmaceutical companies would loss billions in revenue and the government would also loss billions in taxs that are made from drugs and remedies treating symptoms  that never go away. Head aches, depression, brain fog, mood swings and a host of other problems are all mercury related. Mercury is the second most dangerous substance on the face of this earth but the dental  establishment says it is ok to put it our mouths.
We have to learn to take care of  our selves and stop relying on other to do it for use.

Today I have good news for many, many people suffering from this foggy headache!!!
Remove all amalgam fillings from your mouth, then consider a detox therapy (Dr. Klinghardt is good!), and you will have a very good chance to recover!!! This is the truth. And it is my own experience.

The mercury vapor is released every day and every hour from the amalgam fillings. This vapor goes directly into the brain (and many other organs) and causes many neuralgic (and many other) symptoms!!! This fact is still not well known nowadays, and many doctors do not consider it. That is because many people in the world earn a lot of money by treating with amalgam. Google "amalgam mercury poisoning" or something similar. That will open your eyes!!!

I had my amalgam fillings removed one month ago, and I am feeling a lot better now! But, please, be careful: When you remove your amalgam, you MUST go to a dentist who can provide you all the necessary protection measures!!! This is a must!!! Otherwise you will get an acute mercury poisoning (I experienced this 16 years ago: I had three amalgam fillings removed without any protection, from that day on all my symptoms started), or a severe worsening of your symptoms!! For the necessary protection measures, see http://www.iaomt.org/articles/files/files288/Safe%20Removal%20of%20Amalgam%20Fillings.pdf

For the amalgam removal, DO NOT go to any conventional dentist!! go to a biological dentist (search in the internet for "biological dentist" in your country). And ask the dentist for each protection measure before the appointment, to make sure she/he really uses it.

Also, please note that root canal treatments are very dangerous. Root canal treated teeth are often another cause for severe illnesses (even cancer). In most cases, it will be the best solution to extract root canal treated teeth or those teeth which otherwise would need a root canal treatment.

Good luck! And good health to everybody!

Health is peace. Peace is progress.

I came back from holiday from mexico with a cold... after a few days of being at home all the same symptoms...dizzyness,,,,head pressure earache....fuzzyness.....loosing balance....felt like Id had a bottle of wine and been on the waltzers...then the pain started..only way to describe this..is....my head in a vice...with sharp pencils been rammed down my ears...whilst to knives were stabbing into the base of my skull and twisting and coming out of my temple and eye....Ive never known pain like it.
I was told...viral infection / ear infection / viral laberynthitis....3 different Dr's who gave me anti biotics and the next one said it will have to run its course and the next one gave me..Betahistine Hyrochloride....which helped for the ear pressure...a little...
I contacted a homeopath who said take KALI-MUR 4 tablets every half hour for 2 days...then take every couple of hours..and this helped...a heck of a lot..you just desolve them under your tongue...taste like sherbet....then I stared to feel the pain again. to a point where I could easily have chopped my head off....I then went to see a Nigerian Dr who firstly said lets get blood tests done first...and I'll give you these tablets....take 2 now with food then 1 every 8 hours.....WELL... the pain eased after 1 hour...by 3 hours 50% of pain... went....then took the next one.....pain lessened again about 75 % woke up this morning at 5-30 am had a cup of tea and some biscuits and another tablets and still feel a little fuzzy..but head pain gone 90%....I have never been so relieved in my life....I though I was having a brain hemmorage,,,,the tablets are called....NEPROXEN ....250mg TAKE 2 THEN 1 EVERY 8 HOURS........I get my blood test results this afternoon so I'll check back in later to let you know...I'm still taking my Kali-mur as well.....so......KEEP FINGERS CROSSED...

Hey guys I don't know if someone else posted this or not but a temporary solution I found for the throbbing pain and pressure in the back of my head was donating blood.
I mean everytime after I donate blood my mind becomes clear and normal and I can even think easier. This feeling though only lasts for a week but sometimes you can extend it by sleeping early and getting up early and doing exercise
