    Head pressure is extremely common, especially when someone has anxiety or stress in their life. I can’t count how many times I’ve had that in my life. You can get it from muscle tension in the neck, tired eyes, or sometimes people need a new prescription for their glasses.

    there are many non-serious reasons for pressure in the head. The more you keep worrying about it the more you will have it. I know that from experience.

    A nice head massage would most likely take it away, but I know not everybody can do that.

    just make sure you get a yearly physical check up which is something everybody should do anyway. If it continues or gets worse, you can always revisit your doctor. But in the meantime, practice some ways to reduce stress and anxiety in your life. or address things that are causing you stress. get some exercise and drink plenty of water! Dehydration can also cause pressure in the head.

    have a good day

      thank you so much for replying to me, hearing someone else have the same symptoms defiantly helps!

      i went for a thorough eye test today and paid extra for them to do a 3D scan at my eye as i told them my concerns and that i was worried and it came back fine,

      i didnt know that a eye test can pick up brain tumours etc!

      i still have the pressure feeling but im not worrying about it as much now so hopefully it will start to settle down, fingers crossed!!

    I get this too, in my case it most certainly is anxiety.

      do you get it when you dont even feel anxious though?

      & how do you ease it?

      Yes, I get it even when I'm not anxious (not that I'm ever not anxious at the moment though lol) I do some shoulder stretches that the physio told me to do and that helps. You can probably find some on youtube that will help. Good luck! x
