pressure in head

It will prob take at least 5 days before u can see an effects of the ibuprofen

I have it now.......I can't get rid of it.  Ibuprofen does nothing for me.  

I'm taking 200 mg gabapentin three times but I stil get it sometimes and I have it now.  Cold flannel on the back of the neck and drinking lots of water will hopefully make it subside.

 

It's horrible isn't it! I've had a hot water bottle on back of my neck all evening, taken CoCodamol twice and ibuprofen, done nothing to ease it in any way

Drinking water (which I hate) will hopefully dilute the pressure.   

Not trying to burst bubbles, but why hot water ? I would think cool ........Ibuprofen eases, not sating it works, I'd stay on them if nothing

Because when u rung 111 the clinicians said put hot water bottle there, not that it helped. Day 6 and still suffering like crazy

I've been told to alternate between hot and cold. When I'm in pain...I'll try anything.

If you say JUMP, I'll say HOW HIGH.

 

Ya...if your doc font know, not sure how they will. I'm sorry I'm so negative, I am just so sick of being sick, as u must be also, sorry Nikki hope we both feel better. 

lol...poor JOhn

It's ok I understand. I suffer from a few other conditions as well so completely understand the negativity and as you said sick of being sick. When no one can give you an actual answer it just makes it all the more frustrating!

Its sure is......I just hope that when I see the Nuerologist he gives me an answer

..................and whatever the next step is....I hope that the waiting list is not too long.  

 

John thanks...they called last week I go May 11th 

that's pretty good.

Make sure you tell him/her what you are experiencing on your WORSE day......  dont say..some days it's manageable.

 

Ya, I know what u mean...........I will ! thanks for the info. If one does say that, then they figure its not so bad !

Hey what was the word from your Neurologist apt? Are you still having there symptoms?

Hi Thera...........yes he said its Migraines, and it brings on sinus issues also, he has me on Propranalol now for a few months, it has reduced the pressure prob by 75% he also has me on triptans when it gets bad. Its still hanging in there , but at least I can do things now. I recall when I fist got the pressure I searched the internet SO hard and I found the Triptans and asked my GP for them and he said....."oh not that wont work".....angry now when I think of it, making me suffer that long. How are u and what are your symptoms ?

They diagnosed me with "Daily Persistant Headache". I have a hard time with that diagnosis. I have suffered from headaches on and off in my life and this is not a headache. I have had this pressure and head pains 24/7 since Oct. 2012 I am 27, F, and 100% happy and healthy prior to this. I woke up one morning feeling hungover w/o alcohol and I wake up feeling like that every morning now.

Some of us from another discussion have started an email group. We are collecting everyone's stories and they are growing. We think it will help get these symptoms seriously recognized if we get enough people with these symptoms. If you go to the discussion "Head Pressure" started by Allen14588 read some of the latest comments. A lot of us have been dealing with this for years now. We have tried every medication and test and seen every doctor. This is diminishing a lot of people's lives. If you are interested in joining the email group PM me your email address and I will add you. Your post sound so similar to ours and you have got the same diagnosis. I think we can find an actual cute an not just medication management. If your uncomfortable giving out your email just make a new one for this. I think you will be surprised when reading the other stories they are just like ours.

Hey Thera....I just fully read your post, sorry, after posting what I posted I have been SO sick ever since, cry........... but I want to ask u , your head pressure, is it the same as a "your headache" oris that 2 diff. things for u, the pressure is right dead centre of my head and it throbs like if u hit your thumb with a hammer, pulsate would prob be the word, also pulsates from my breast up, even my neck. what I dont understand and I have asked that many times, is that a Migraine, or is this what we are calling head pressure ?.......another weird thing I myself have bin since since Oct. 2013 I went home thinking I had a cold,with congestion and it hasnt left, I wake up hungover also and I dont drink, I use to jog and was in very good shape, I now gained 25lbs from eating and being sad, I can now say depressed its bin so long. I want u to heal and get healthy !!

Sounds like we are feeling and going through close to the same thing. It truly is depressing and frightening.

So my head pressure is all over my head. Sometimes there is pressure in my face and ears too. I also get pains in my head, in random spots. I don't consider this a headache. If I have been crying or am tired etc. I can feel a headache come on, on top of this. I get really light headed when I bend over or stand up. I too feel almost like tremors in my chest and that pulsating feeling your talking about in my head. Sometimes when it's really bad the pulsating in my head will caus a slight blurred vision with black splotches that pulsate with my head. It's the best I can describe it.

I have also had 3 years of congestion and post nasal drip.

Hang in there. A lot of people are looking into this. We will get answers soon I am confident. It's easier said than done but try to stay busy and moving in a forward direction in your life. I put the last three years on hold to combat this and regret it. Just keep doing the things you love and keep busy and distracted. It's the only thing that helps me. But never give up on looking for the cause of this. We will find it.

Message me anytime to share how your feeling or coping. The more we talk about it the better. Best wishes.
