Constant head pressure on right side

I am a cluster headache sufferer, I get them every 2 years for a couple of weeks - the pain is very severe and have had them for 8 years now so 4 episodes.  My last episode was about 8 months ago.  Only the right side of my head is affected.

More recently, most of this year I have had a constant pressure on the same side I get the clusters.  It doesn’t hurt, I’m just aware it’s there.  Sometimes I get stabbing pains in the same spot which don’t last long.  I have also experienced pins and needles or tingling either in or on my head same area.  A couple of weeks ago, the vision in my left eye went blurry for about half an hour, sometimes I get the floating lights in both eyes but never accompanied with a headache.  Am seeing a dr tomorrow, does it sound like migraine?  I would like a scan to put my mind at ease.  Anyone had similar symptoms?

    Hi Carla

    I get very similar due to a worn disc in my neck, have upper back and neck pain, and the pressure and head pain start at bottom of skull to my eye, all one one side.

    Tension can aggravate it. Regular massages and a neck pillow help.
