Pressure in right side of head

Hi, any update? Im actually experiencing right now the same thing as andrew explained above. I just had an appointment with my neuro and he did some physical tests to me and he said that everything seems to be fine. But i know there's really something wrong in my head. He gave me a medicine clonazepam but im not taking it. I tried to research about it and it can give a life threatening side effect. Next week is my follow up with my neuro for some diagnostic tests. Hopefully nothing is seriously wrong. Anyone here who got an answer about it? Im wondering what it really is. Im getting paranoid this past few days.

Im having the same symptoms, though on a scale of 1-10 it's barely a 1. I'd say it's affecting my vision as well but my vision was blurry before I felt this. Any updates on what your doctor said?

I also have a case of Googleitis and found that it could be an aneurysm along the optic nerve, but you'd think I'd feel more symptoms than my right temple that's sore to the touch. Any updates on what your doctor said?

Hi drew, I’ve been having pressure on the right side of my head. For a good 6 months now. Nothing seems to work. I find it very interesting that you too were prescribed sumatriptan. So was I . They prescribed me with propanolol & muscle relaxers as well. It only seems to relieve my symptoms but the pressure always comes back. I’m only 19, I got a CT Scan & waiting for my results back. I’ve been waiting patiently and haven’t panicked about what it might be. Please give us an update I want to know what happened ! Thx !

Hello everyone, I too have been experiencing pressure like feeling on the right side of temple. It's not painful, it's pressure. To me, it feels more nero than tumor. I would have spouts of headaches but not as bad as they use to be so that's good. But I'm still getting this pressure like feeling. Sometimes it's on one side, sometimes at both. Oh, I also get this feeling through my head like someone I pinching my nerves with a pair of tweezers. But, odd thing is, it's not painful, it's not pressure but I can feel it. It's the weirdest thing I have ever felt. I don't know if anyone is a smoker but I do smoke a pack every other day so I don't know if smoking can be the cause or if it's something else. 6 yrs ago I because a vitcim of anxiety just up and out if the blue. It was so bad I even had panic attacks. Anyway, ever since I had my anxiety I've been feeling these weird head feelings. ( BTW, I have previously mentioned about headaches, they were tension headaches and when I get them, they are extremely painful )

I too for the last 5 weeks have been feeling a slight pressure which is localised on top of my head slightly to the right side. I remember feeling a few what felt like spasms or brain zaps at first which has now settled to this dull ache.

The ache itself hasn’t stopped me doing anything nor have I had bad vision, dizziness, weakness etc etc just literally a dull ache which is constant and hasn’t gone at all. I don’t think it’s gotten any worse. 

I do suffer from major anxiety about health ever since I had a small heart palpitation years ago. Everytime I get Ill i feel like it’s the worst case scenario. No leading up to this dull ache I was playing sports and exercising heavily. I’m not sure if I maybe had done something to my neck.

I’m really worried because this ache has not gone and being in the head it makes me panic so much more.  I’m 23 and usually fit and healthy, bar my bad health anxiety.

Has anyone got any ideas to what I could try to remove this ache.

I do have another doctors appointment booked and an appointment with the neuro but this isn’t for over a month.

Thanks, 

Hello All, I came across to this thread 2 weeks back though Google when I was searching for this strange pressure on the right side of my head. Many people have posted here regarding this problem but no one have posted how they got rid of this pressure. I want to highlight that I had the same problem which is described by Andrew at the first place. I was having pressure in the right side my head and sometime on ear at well. I never had such problem in the past and it had already been 3 weeks since it got started. I was also very afraid of visiting the doctor and the possibility of Cancer or Brain tumour haunted me. Then one day I decided to visit neurologist. He listened to me very patiently and he thoroughly examined me. We had the discussion on medical history of my family and myself. He finally told me that this is nothing but a migraine and hypertension. He gave me couple of medicines (TRYPTOMER and NAXDOM - Please do not take these medicines without advise of doctor) and advised me for meditation, exercise, proper diet and sleep. I felt better very next day after taking the medicines and following the guidelines given by him. I am completely fit and fine now.

I am not sure that everyone is having the same problem here, only a doctor can advise after proper examination. But I just wanted to highlight that please do not think about the consequences of test results and take tension, please do not be afraid of visiting the doctor. There is a proper treatment available for every disease. If you are reading my post because you are experiencing strange pressure at right side of your head then please do not take tension or over think about the possibility of brain tumour or cancer, just visit the doctor. You might be having same problem as of mine, which is very common now-a-days. I hope this post will help you guys. Stay healthy and stay fit.

Regards,

Tarang

A little update about my headache.

Just after roughly a month after I posted a reply on this topic 9 months ago, my headache gone by itself. I didn't use more medicine, just the medicine that prescribed at that time (I went to hospital twice at that time). I just changed my lifestyle into a more healthy one.

But now after 8 month headache free with no other symptom, I got the same headache again since 4 days ago. It's still at the same spot, on top of my skull a bit to the right. But the different thing is, I feel throbbing headache at that spot now alongside the pressure that I feel almost 24hr/day (my headache at 9 months ago didn't have throbbing, only pressure feeling). It feels like someone pressing a nail on that spot, and when the throbbing occurred it feels like someone hammer that nail!

Today this headache became more intense since last night, the throbbing keep waking me up from my sleep every 1/2 hour or 1 hour, so I had troubled to sleep last night and ended up googling about brain tumor headache with this keyword all night "Can brain tumor headache go away/Does brain tumor headache come and goes?".

I'm planning to visit the doctor again if this headache doesn't get better in few days.

Hey All! I have been going through the exact same thing for months now its like I'm used to it now. I honest think it stems from neck and back problems and also aniexty. When it first happened I realized that I had these knots in my neck. One at the back of my neck and one on the side of my neck. I've heard that back problems can cause a tons of other things such as what we've all been going through. I came across thoratic outlet syndrome which has symtoms similar to the pain I also feel.
