I have chronic head pressure that only
gets better when I lay down. I have had it
for about 4 months.
I have no nasuea, no loss of vision, and I
have no trouble sleeping. I have a
doctor's appointment Monday.
It has been constant for the last 4-5
months. It is not a throbbing headache,
just a constant head pressure with
dizziness. I had my wisdom teeth removed
last week and it made it worse. Any ideas
what it might be?

Hi and welcome to ehealth
I'm wondering if it has something to do
with the wisdom teeth. Do you feel any
sinus pressure or ear pain?
Are you going to your general doctor or
oral surgeon next week?

I have been suffering with the same head
pressure for about 9 years now.been to the
doctor at least 4 to 5 times a year tryin
to figure out what is going on.have had a
CAT scan for tumors but that came up
negative(THANK GOD!)numerous blood tests
all came back clean.have tried nasal
sprays(prescription/non-prescriptions)have
tried every sinus medication under the sun
but nothing seems to be working.i have
been researching this and so many things
from tension headaches to cluster
headaches.not sure what to do at this
point either but to maybe make an
appointment with a neurologist.good luck!

Have you seen an ear nose and throat
doctor?
What doctors have you been to?
Have you gone for another opinion?
Sorry for the questions, I'm hoping to
help you get some answers..
Don't give up the answer is out there, you
will get it even if it takes seeing a few
doctors. I will do a bit of research and
see if I come up with anything.

I have seen an ear, nose and throat
specialist. Did several tests including a
test where he runs warm water in your ear
for a period of time.Talk about getting
dizzy! I was diagnosed with vertigo.They
had me start physiotherapy.Did exercises
which straightened things out with the
vertigo.Now I just have to get rid of this
head pressure.I was researching tension
headaches(pressure)and it describes alot
of the symptoms that i have.
i exercise regularly and eat as healthy as
I can afford to right now.thank you for
your concern and God bless you!

Your Welcome.
I understand about not being able to
afford health care, as it is expensive.
I did see your other post after I replied
to this one.
Keep us posted and God bless you too..
