Sorry to post about this on these forums again but this has been troubling me every day now for almost a week. Came to visit my in law's a week last Tuesday with our child, and two days in my head started feeling mildly strained at the back, I thought it was because I was reading a fairly small print thing -then I got a 'normal' sort of headache, but after that the strain sensation/like a pushing or pressure that gets so intense it becomes a 'pain' carried on and got worse. It went away after a night's sleep but came on again the next day, gradually after about an hour of waking, and the same has happened each day.
At best it is a background strain and a sensation of heat/cold or general weirdness and slight pains here and there, at worst it's really intense squeezing mostly over the back of my head and both sides of head around the ears. It can be so bad at night that it stops me getting off to sleep (particularly bad when laying on sides of head for some reason).
Unsurprisingly been getting some other anxiety symptoms like odd heart skips and feeling butterflies a lot since this happened.
At first I thought stress as its been a very busy/stressful time before we came away but it's just carried on and on and I don't normally suffer with headaches. Paracetamol doesn't do much but will make a doc app when home.
Sorry for all the writing, I just wondered if anyone can relate to this -can it possibly just be stress as it doesn't go away even though I'm having a more chilled time and being looked after here? (mum in law is great!)
Many thanks in advance :)
