Weird headache

Posted , 5 users are following.

So I've been getting this strange headache more and more often as of late and not sure what to think of it. Its not really painful, but more just annoying and a weird sensation. It feels like a tightness/pressure in my forehead, and it feels like my head is underwater. Ive had it for at least a few months, seems to be getting more pronounced though over the course of the last few weeks or so. Sometimes its hard to go to sleep or concentrate because of it, it never wakes me up when I am asleep. It seems to be worse in the morning and then gets worse as the day goes on. Somedays I dont get it at all, but Id say I get it 5-6 days out of thr week. I dont really have any other symptoms, but i did have a spinal tap and an Epidural blood patch back over the summer to correct for spinal headache. Did some research and saw that increased CSF fluid or CSF hypertension in the forehead might be the case. And Im always paranoid of brain tumors. Any thoughts or ideas? Should I see doctor about it?

    I have those symptoms for now 16 years 7 days a week with occasional headaches and for those I take Butalbital-Acetamin-Caf 50-325-40 tb, but for the fogginess unfortunately it's every day and only had a couple of clearness when I was sent to do some physical therapy but my health insurance only approved one year and so couldn't continue the process so I accepted my condition, 24/7 with foggy head and when the headaches are to bad I take the medication. I did tried every other remedy out their and no doctors can figure it out, I became special lol.

    Sounds like the headaches I get. Have you tried getting a CT scan or mri?
