Constant head pressure in the temples and eyes

I myself have had a headache history since last year. I was suffering with worst headaches of

my life. I was not able to don anything.Then in feb or jan this year in 2017 i went to doctors and ya. i went to eye specialist and my eyes were really in bad condition. Then i went for mri scan. my results came normal. Then i went to see a neurologist. he suggested me to get a lumber puncture asap the same day i went to him for consultation. so ya i gor better the next day no headaches. after that days really i have had hardly any headaches. But i was told i am having issues in my eyes because of my overweight issues which is really weird. i have heard this first time. i has so much pressure in my brain . i am taking really strong dose

of tablets. lets see. Doctor says u need to loose weight otherwise it will be bad.

Look up giant cell arteritis.

I used to get headaches every single day around 10am and I would not get any relief til I fell asleep. Absolutely nothing touched them--nothing prescribed or otc worked. I was also taking meds for depression and mild psychosis. When I had a recent bout of depression etc my meds were switched around (some doses lowered, some new meds added, some 'evicted from my life!). Only then did I get complete relief!(and only then..honestly I feel for you--I personally feel like headaches are a slow torture that no one really outwardly sees but debilitated you in your life!). Before the switch in meds my life felt like madness as absolutely NO THING helped)

Hello everyone,

i suffer really bad with health anxiety, I have a fear of death, which I developed over 10 years ago! Lately I constantly just want to sleep, I'm tired all of the time and I get pressure in my temples and eyes always feel woozy, it's an awful feeling. I just vacuumed under a table this morning and felt a sudden pressure in the side of my head which spread to my eyes making them feel sleepy!! Now I just want to go sleep again! It's a dreadful existence when stuff like this happens on a daily basis. Wish I knew what to do. 

Last I wrote I mentioned I was going to do the following. First, acupuncture. Second, take Hawthorn berries and Gingko supplements. I am not certain if the supplements helped. Accupunture by itself helped somewhat. My doc combined acupuncture with a laser light therapy to improve the circulation around my temple area to stimulate blood flow. My headache has always been at my right temple area. He also told me to take a magnesium supplement which would help me relax. I have not done that yet. I recently learned also that the vegetable celery helps to dilate blood vessels to improve blood flow so probably will increase my consumption of celery. I think the accupunture and laser light therapy do help me somewhat. Unfortunately these types of therapies are not government subsidized, so I do have to pay out of pocket. It is rather expensive for me to do it once a week. I paid $65 per treatment. I could only do it once a month or so.

Hey lynn,

I will put it quiet simple if mainstream meds aren't working, medical cannabbis will definetaly help. Regardless of wat any individual may assume. If it helps and works it worth it. 

Hello. Have you gotten any relief yet? I hope so. And I apologize in advance if what I have to offer is unhelpful. I have been having very similar pain as well. The pain on either side of my head is the worst. Five months now. My neurosurgeon suggested I receive specific injections in the soft tissue of the occipital nerve. I believe this is to treat what is called "occipital neuralgia." I got the injections which seemed to stop a throbbing pain that radiated from the right occipital region of my head to my scalp, however, the pain in my temples persists. But it is progress! There are several causes which could cause someone to develop occipital neuralgia so it might not be the correct modality for treatment in your particular case. For that matter, you might have already have been down that path. 

Thanks. And if you have any suggestions of what helped please send them my way.  

Hello Lynn,

I am 38 yrs old and have been experiencing tingling/pressure/soreness in my left temple for a year. The symptoms sometimes radiate to the right temple or forehead. However, the symptoms on the left temple are constant 24/7. I have seen several specialist and had imaging done as well. It seems as the common diagnosis is Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have not tried any medications yet due to the fear of the negative side effects from them.. Have you had any relief?
