Head pressure in the back of my head

My head pressure started after a coughing fit. I was coughing for about 4 weeks and nothing was helping. It turned out that I have acid reflux. I was given acid reflux medication and now the cough is way better than it was. Unfortunately I still have the head pressure. It is in the back of my head. I went to the ER in the beginning of the month and got a CT. The CT showed no abnormalities. My vision is okay; I'm nearsighted (have been since I was a teen). Everytime I look up head pressure in the back of the head on Google, I get some worrisome search results. I will be seeing my primary again this week (after telling him about it, he said it's from the cough and that I have nothing to worry about). I'm a worry wart by nature.

Just wondering if people have been experiencing anything similar to me and what have they done.. what has helped?
