This could be a long one so bear with me...
For goodness knows how many years now, I have suffered with headaches/pressure. I actually don't call them headache, they are more head pains as they are usually very short lived, few seconds maybe a minute at a time.
The pressure happens usually when i go from sitting to standing and is my whole head. More recently back of head and right side.
They went away for a long time ( months rather than years) but they're back with a vengeance.
They are primarily on the right side of my head, side and top. Sometimes neck pain aswell but rarely. I also get strange dizzy spells, bit like I am on a boat.
I have seen countless Drs over the years who all say, its muscle or anxiety related!
Yesterday, I had a strange episode when I came over funny, went light headed, my ears rang and a tingling/numbness came over my face. I felt really sick for a period after but I took myself off to cool down ( the office was very stuffy) and i felt okay after that.
I get the pressure laying down, when I go sitting to standing, whenever it feels like it basically. I do also get some pressure in my face which I've put down to sinuses as I have chronic rhinitis. But I don't think this is causing the pressure/head pains
I am just so worried this is a brain tumour or aneurysm and no one has taken me seriously all these years and that i'll just die.
I try to rationalise it that its to do with my neck and certain positions trigger the headache/make it stop but I cannot 100% convince myself.
Has anyone else experienced similar and it turned out to be nothing to worry about?
I feel like i don't live my life fully because of it!
