Tension headache and ear aches

Posted , 14 users are following.

I've had tension headaches but never felt this intense headache and ear pain, it makes both sides of my face and back of my head feel numb. Also the anxiety is getting worse. Anyone else experiencing this? Could it be another perimenopause symptom?

    Hi there. It is 3am in the morning and not been a good night. I am too suffering with the headaches like many of your are and they are dificult to describe sometimes but it like pressure in the veins of my head and i think it is related to my sinus as my ear creeks and pops too with a little ear ache...

    It can be frightening but i figure as it comes and goes and is different in strenghts its hormonal...its a strange sensation rather than a pain....ive too got terrible mood swings too lately. Lord they are hard at times ...good to check in here when our minds are wandering off to unhealthy places...thanks for all the sharing....hang tight girls...❤ xo. CK

    Oh yes the headache and sinus pain is ridiculous! I can only get relief sometimes by taking Advil and sudafed or Benadryl together..Staying hydrated helps a little bit too...and sometimes we just need some quiet, rest and relaxation...I also come on this forum because it helps to know we aren’t alone! I love the term warriors, we most certainly are! 😘

      Yes grinding teeth is part of the problem. It's all the anxiety throughout the day that makes me grind my teeth. I have a mouth guard which helps a little.
