Feeling of pressure in my head

[liam1412]

This is my 3rd bout of serious anxiety/panic attacks but this feeling I have never had before. It feels like I have loads of pressure in my head like its goong to pop. WHen the pressure gets really bad My vision goes blurred. I have done the whole thing of thinking its something serious but now Im almost convinced it is stress related. Has anyone else ever had this feeling.

Hi
I posted the other day about this. My thread is called 'Head Pain' -
its not what i would call a headache, more of a constant feeling of pressure on the top of my head. It feels as though i have banged it and its bruising and its quite tender when i lie down. I have never banged my head so my worry is also that there is something going on in my brain. I feel the pressure all day but more when i bend down, my ears also pulsate. I have had blurred vision for 4months now, especially when i look from a near to a far object.
I had a clear ct scan 3 months ago but at that time i wasnt having this pressure feeling in my head. So my concern is something has formed in the mean time. My GP doesnt agree and has refused a second CT scan. This constant worry is getting me down so i am thinking of going private for a second scan. Have you had a scan?

No I haven't had a scan as this is something that is just starting now. Having read through loads of threads on this and other forums I am fairly convinced this is just stress. Its not something that is constant just every now and again.

Do you ever get a squelching sensation/sound inside your head. That is wierd as!!!

My pressure feeling is constant, thats why i am worried. It doesnt hurt but its just always there. I dont get noises in my head but i do get odd sounds in my ears, low ringing, hissing etc. Ive read a few times that a tumor doesnt give you a bad headache, just an uncomfortable pressure which is what i have. Ive got a lovely daughter and i wish all this would just go away and i could wake up tomorrow without a care in the world which is how i used to be. Take care

Don't worry yourself about it. I have spent so long convincing myself I am seriously ill in the past and it has turned out to be nothing. Now when I get a new symptom I just know its anxiety related but just need assurance. I'm sure everything will be okay. Do you take any meds for anxiety.

Many times the headache associated with a tumour is so bad that it makes you vomit.

My mum recently had a bleed on the brain which caused her to have a pressure headache. I don't think you can mistake it - she described it as 'like a thousand migranes'. And yes, it did also make her vomit which made her incompetant GP think she had a virus! But it was swiftly followed by confusion and vision problems. And I don't mean anything like what you get with anxiety - I'm talking not recognising my voice or seeing anything out of her left side.

I'm no doctor, and its always good to be careful, but I get anxiety headaches/confusion/head pressure and I think they're fairly common symptoms. I've had this 7 months so pretty sure I would know about it if it was anything more serious x

My head pressure is constant too. Either we both have bad anxiety or we are both horribly ill. I am betting on the former!

if you have blurred vision its serious and anyone that doesnt take it seriously is a bad doc. so go see someone else, and you people with pressure in your head tell the doc you have blurred vision and they will get you a scan. I have had to lie through my teeth to get anything done and found out, and I found something that I would not have found if I listened to them. So just say I have blurred vision for however long and it has gotten worse recently.
I have told my docs that certain types of cancer runs in my family when I found a lump and they would not give me a scan.
