The last 9 months, I have had tremendous pressure in the back of my head, pressure in my ears, neck pressure and pain. I've seen a ENT, had my 3rd sinus surgery. Which before, I also had pressure in my forehead which has now improved, been miserable for months. 24/7 I have pressure that never goes away, last month I finally stopped working because the pressure has become so severe with dizziness and vertigo, I can no longer function at work. The last 9 months, I was scared I was going to injure myself or another.My accidents could kill on top of releasimg hazardous Material. I'm waiting to see Neurologist. Which I have a feeling, I will have an MRI, Only medication that seems to help, which doesn't really help with the pressure, but settles me down is ativan, does help with some dizziness. I've tried assortment of pain medications, NSAIDS, Decongestants, antihistamines, been put on antibiotics, and steroids over and over again....very irratated, but also very scared. Only 33, this is probably the first time in my life where I feel totally disabled. Seems like family doesn't understand, gives me the you still got to work bull. I really wish I could punch them in the back of the head and cause them the pressure and vertigo, and dizziness. Tell them to go function when walking across the room seems difficult. Also, just the fear of not knowing what is wrong. Usually work 70 hour weeks, now it feels like it's hard to get up and move around for less then 30 minutes. Feel so sleepy and tired most the time. This really sucks, but if I have any suggestions or find out anything that may help, I'll let you know. The odd part, is before all this started, I had horrible allergies, everyday nose was stuffed up, mucus that never ended, etc, etc etc, now, I feel like I have absolutely no allegies, and my nose is as clear as when I was younger. That doesn't make since to me since I have been suffering from that problem for over 8 years, now it's like it never happen, but also, I never had allegies when I was in my 20s, and all off sudden I had the worst allegies ever.....Confusing to me. I'll take the plugged nose, tons of snot back if the pressure would just go away. I could hand the pressure in my face, and forhead, this pressure is a totally different deal. Feel like my head is going to explode.

Were you able to get this fixed? I've been experiencing head pressure, dizziness, eye floaters, and vision impairments for over 3 years now. Tests and test later, they all come back normal. Any advice, information, or help would be awesome!

You sound like me. In 2 weeks I'm getting an operation to unblock my sphenoid sinus cavity. I'm very sure this has been my problem for the last year and a half.

Please let me know how it goes. I'm going to see an ENT tomorrow. I truly believe after all this time that this is what is wrong with me.
Thank you so much for the information and I hope this goes well for you!

after many nites of searching I found some of the problem, I took Levofloxacin 500mg. & now she put me on another drug that has huge lawsuit against them Johnson & Johnson.(AMOX TR-K CLV 875 ). I cannot believe these drugs that a Dr. would give .. people have died.. look it up.. I have 7 pills left & am not taking.. I did not look up as I told her about the lst one that gave me the yeast infections, then I had to take pills for that.. the last time I was in she gave me 3 new drugs.. I only took the antibotic one & did not take the other 2.. I was a health nut so I did not get as bad as some I took the AMOX ONE above but stopped as of tonite.. I cannot afford to get anymore problems.. These drug companys are out for the almighty $.. so sad..look up some of these.. I do not know if u took any prescription drugs even if it was 6mos. ago .. it can take that long to get the symptoms .. mine was about 3mos. later.. I am so mad... did u take anything at all 6 mos. or so prior to your problem,.?? let me know.. this is only part of my problem,, I do have something wrong with my sinus area.

I am so glad this forum was created because I struggled with head pressure, memory loss, and headaches for 3 years. I found this thread a year ago and read every reply and lost all hope that I would ever be normal again, but atleast I knew I wasn't alone and that gave me a certain peace of mind. Through the years I had become a zombie just having a normal conversation became so hard that I wanted to die. I ended up losing my wife over it because she just couldn't handle being married to a rock anymore. I wouldn't wish the head pressure on anyone but I told myself if by a miracle I ever overcame it I would write to help others. Well here I am today 3 months cured and your not going to believe what did it. I started taking vitamins once a day. I started the day with a men's one a day , 2 omega 3 fish oil capsule, 1 magnesium/ calcium pill, and 2 Ginko Biloba pills and after only 2 days symptoms started to disappear. I'm happy to say my wife and I just got back together and she's pregnant with our second child. I wish everyone on here the best of luck of luck and know that if I can beat it anyone can. Your not alone.

I can't count the number of doctors visits well over 60 in 3 years and the dozens upon dozens of tests that turned up nothing abnormal. I remember coming home after and being angry and taking it out on everyone around me because nomatter how many times I explained the head pressure and feeling of losing my mind the doctors would say there's nothing wrong. It only got worse by the day to the point where I shut myself off from the world. I basically curled up in a ball and was waiting to die. Then by coincidence my buddy who's a health nut left some vitamins at my house and I took them and boom I got my life back. I promise it's not forever. I wish you nothing but the best.

Travis,
I've had these issues for 3 years now and it's becoming mentally exhausting. I'm going to buy all of these vitamins right now and test it.
Did you ever have any vision problems? Eye floaters?

Go see an ENT. You could have a sphenoid sinus cavity or sphenoid sinusitis. Been having these symptoms along with others for over 3 years. Luckily I have good insurance and I truly believe after more research this is what is wrong with me. I go see one tomorrow and I will keep you updated on my journey. It's ruining my life and I told myself last Friday I'm going to see every doctor and take off as much work as I need to in order to fix what's wrong.
