Weird headache with pressure on my skull. What can this be? Please Help!
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've been having this ongoing headache on the left side of my forehead for more than 3 months now. Sumatriptan helps however the pain is still present. It will feel warm and numb in the area until the medicine wears off. I notice that the pain becomes increasingly worse when bending over, or straining when having a bowel movement. Once the pain gets worse I would get very nauseous and feel overall unwell. I also have a very large and dark floater in my left eye, and during a headache attack, regular speaking voices hurts my ears. Anything louder is horrible! In addition to the headache, my skull in the left side forehead area feels sore. Like the actual bone feels pressured almost like lightly pushing a rock again your shin but on my forehead (is the best way I can describe it).
So far blood tests were normal all except for my cholesterol was high. I have a brain mri with contrast scheduled in March but I am afraid that waiting can be risky. I simply need answers if it's serious. Any idea what this can be? I'm so scared and worried! Please help!

I'm relieved to hear that someone is going through the same thing as me. I've had MRI and it was clear. my neck is part of the problem. along with posture. have you been told anything about cervicogenic headaches...which can also cause pressure in your head. I've had intense pressure for over a year now. I feel like I'm going mad at times. I've had intense physio for several months and at times it helps.
have you been seen by a migraine specialist. you are not alone. I am on preventative medication for migraine.. but it still continues. I also have chronic pain.. another story. I hope some of that helps.
I was going to post about this. I hope your ok and keep in touch.
