Constant Head Pressure - Feels Like My Head Is Going To Explode

[Cinnamon4z]

I am not sure if this is a 'migraine'- but i also get a ton of pressure/pain in my head/neck area- everything becomes quite a bit worse during flareups which are just a packet of joy...... hate it...
Anyways- its like my TMJ, scalp, temples, sides & back of head gonna explode sometimes.....

And what did you do to get your anxiety so under control.

Has anyone had constant head pressure? Like your head is going to explode? I've had this for a couple y...

I have had that pressure you are talking about. I have a headache now. It's from all the stress one has, THe brain can only take so much. Adn when there are many things going on in there, it feels like what you are describing.

I just go out on long walks and then it helps me.

Oh goodness. I get this too. Especially after I've been triggered. The worse the trigger, the worse the pressure, and it can go on for days for me. I feel faint, and like my head is gonna float off or explode. Doing stuff that requires a lot of concentration starts to hurt a lot. Right now I cannot actually read for long periods of time.

Really one resting thread I'm actually sitting here after 6 months of "migraines" googling because I wake up w head pressure go to bed w head explode feelings - I'm starting to not be able to stand conversation.
I've been taking imigrane for migraines but they dont work now - I recently got Botox which u haven't mentioned in my temples where the vine pulses the most it's given some relief & think it's the only reason I'm functioning atm.
I talked to dentist friend who said the teeth grinding / jaw tightness can be big contributor & from a good dr u can also get Botox in jaw area to help. Just thought I'd include that for other sufferers here ^^
I'm just glad it's not a brain cancer symptom as that's what I was starting to think was going on.
I'm definitely going to go back to dr and start looking into more yoga as I can't live like this.

Yeah I can't talk about this without flipping out..but I caught some kind of infection. Anti fungal meds (fluconazole) ended up helping it but not without creating every problem imaginable. Not exaggerated. Head pressure from systemic infection which I stroked out and couldn't use my left side. Can't remember where places are when driving. Left eye doesn't work. Right eye is bulging out. Hardest to deal with..other ppl saying what's wrong??? Idk. My 25 dr.'s don't know. I still have to work yet I keep getting fired. Started at 20 yrs old. 33 now. Half retarded living with mommy and pissed. Not giving up because when I took the antifungal it helped everything!!! Except ptsd. When ptsd acts up, I have head pressure and feel like I'll stroke again. At least I have somewhere to live and a doc that let me try a billion different drugs for long periods until I found fluconazole. No doc could figure out fungal infection..I did. MY POINT: COULD YOU HAVE SOMETHING "MAKING" YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM ACT UP? Fungal caused head pressure, confusion. Joints hurt. FATIGUE. And things like white goo coming out of eyes, ears, mouth (tongue), sinuses(nose). It screwed me up major

Just came from my PCP and blood pressure good EKG good or feel like my head's going to explode which doesn't feel very well so I don't know what to do but it's making me throw up. What do I do.

 

[Muted]

Yes, usually only during a therapy session.

Eating healthy + Yoga, Meditation - any kind of really light exercise helps me. And releasing emotions to someone I trust. It comes back every time I do something very stressful though, in those cases, lots of restorative yoga. I know it sounds hippie, but it's the only thing I've found effective.

Me too. I feel my brain/my head is going to explode everyday recently. Only after good sleep or doing good job give me some relax...Reading book also helps...But too much stress and dont know how to effectively release the year-long accumulated stress...

Yah, if you can actually read more than a paragraph.

Hi I have been passing out an falling. I wake up an I'm kissing the pavement. I don't know why but after that happening to me for 8 months now I'm getting bad pressure from the the back of my neck to all around my head. It feels like it is going to explode. I have been to emergency an they can't find anything wrong. I don't know what to do. Anyone out there have the same thing going on?
