do you mean headache or feeling your head is heavy?

Not sure if this is the same but I had one sided sinus pain, they it would move around slightly but alwasy in the same area. Dull ache. I dwelled on it and tried meds and got scans was left with a huge case of anxiety now i am sort of dealing with my anxiety and it is going away. Wish I knew sooner.

Hey Jim,

The pressure feeling in my head was actually the first thing I really noticed and has been the most bothersome to me. It feels like there's something pushing behind my sinuses, and my eyes, and in the roof of my mouth, and inside my brain. Horrible feeling. I completely understand.

My psych tells me its just a symptom of anxiety. I'm currently on anti-depressants and the feeling has reduced a lot on them :)

Holy crap, that is identical to what I'm experiencing. I'm glad you stated that. I feel the weird feeling in the roof of my mouth too, kind of radiates into my upper teeth too. Not like a pain, but a pressure/dull ache. When you press on your scalp or sinus areas do you feel the pressure radiate to other areas of your head?

I worry the most about this symptom since it seems to be the most persistent. I just hope it's as mild as everyone says it is.

I had my sinuses checked out by a few ENT's also. I have minor sinus cysts and a deviated septum but nothing that they said would cause the symptoms I'm describing.

I think it may have to do with the nerve that runs through those areas. I believe it's the trigeminal but I could be wrong. Maybe due to lower serotonin or overstimulation by anxiety, these nerves just aren't functioning properly.
