hi everyone, ive been having this pain for a couple of years now. When I lay down on my back and go to sleep and wake up in the same position, I feel this heaviness in the back of my head, lower by my neck

it almost feels like my head is full, like someone opened my head and poured water in it while i was sleeping.

my dad and sister both have thyroid problems. my dad had to get a shunt (i think thats what its called) put in the back of hos head because of his chiari malformation. do you think it could be this?

when i stand up i can feel my head get heavier. I can also always hear a swoosh sound in my ears along with my heart beat. is it my ears throwing everything off?

im 25, female, a bit overweight
