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 have the very exact symptoms. My head feels like it is in a vice grip sometimes. I also feel like I was punch in the top of my nose. When I drive I get moments where I do t feel in control. This is on going for me. Did you figure of what these things mean? Please let me know. I don't have health insurance so I suffer. Heather T.

I have been having pressure in my head for 5 years now and it is annoying, but it seldom hurts. If I apply pressure to my head with my 2 hands, the pressure disappears for the time being and comes right back when I release my hands from my head. This pressure I can also feel in my eyes and my ears feels plugged up at times. I have been to several doctors and my test comes out negative for finding a fault. I won't stop until I find a doctor that can  help me with this pressure in my head. There has got to be a reason why so many people have this condition. Let's keep the faith that God will point us in the right direction for healing.

I am ready to donate my body to science and call it a day!  Started with odd illnesses like pneumonia ans scarlet fever and utis all in a matter of a few months. Then crushing pain in head. Then facial paralysis. Onesided. Horrible piercing pain behind eye. Ear pain pressure. Cannot equalize pressure in right ear still. Headache pressure located right side behind eye and temple region. Muscle. Weakness right side. Not bad.  Facial muscles still not healed. Eye has ptosis in morning. Better by night time. Neck has horrible muscle fatigue. Stiff necks and constant pain. Right side again. Mris and cat scans normal.  Pain pressure much worse when lyong down esp lying on my side.  Either side.  Any comments questions.  From desperate in nh!!

Hello,
I have just read your message and wondered if you have looked at Irlens Syndrome? For years I've wondered why I get so tired, find simple things hard work, sometimes have difficulty reading as I can't concentrate. Yet I'm healthy, fit and well.

If you've not looked into this, go onto the irlens.com website and take a look at the symptoms.

Irlens is really easy to manage.
