This could be a form of tension headache. I get them from time to time, sometimes worse than others either when I'm really stressed or/and when I'm very tired. They come out as an all over pressure and the pain can be mild or quite bad.

This is weird....I was just about to post something about my head pressure too! I've had anxiety for 4 years now and the pressure in my head started during my pregnancy. I told my OB about it and he said it's just me....nothing physical. But it always makes me worry that I'm going to pass out or that it's an issue with high blood pressure (my bp is normal, just a fear that I have). Then I read that it could be hyperventilation, but I'm not panicking! This happens every day. I wake up feeling fine and then within a few hours, the pressure starts. I always thought it was my allergies or sinuses, but xanax relieves it, so it must be anxiety. I just wish it would go away. If anybody has any tips on how to get rid of it, please let us know!

I've had this for the past few days. Mine feels like someone is pressing really hard on the top of my head, forcing pressure into my forehead. I've also got blurred vision, dizziness and feel very nauseous, presumably from the headache.

I've had tension headaches before that have been directly related to my anxiety and so am treating this as the same.

I been having the same problem for a little over 3 years now.The doctors tell me it is sinus/anxiety/stress/tension so I havent really found out the cause but I know for me it all started when I got the Gardasil shots and the day after I got this unusual cold and my nose was bleeding on and off for a few days and the doctor gave me medicine and it didnt seem to help so I started googling my symptoms and they got 100 times worse so I called the doc again and got different meds which did not help either and he gave me steroids which landed me in the ER cause I thought I was going crazy and ever since than I think I have horrible health anxiety and I google my every symptom and go to the ER and doctors so often and even changed my doctor a few times just to get a second opinion.And what usually scares me is the tight feeling in the head because it lats for months sometimes!!!

I'm having the same problem, I've been getting it daily and it stops me from doing a lot of things.
It's sort of like a sudden headache but it feels like it's kind of on the outside.
My skin feels tight around my temples and forehead, bridge of my nose feels heavy, the back of my neck where my skull meets my spine feels tight and sore, I feel like somebody has their hands on either side of my head and is squeezing.
I've tried hot water bottles, exercises, fresh air, lots of different foods/kalms/bach's/nurofen tablets/rubs and nothing relieves it!
It can be crippling!
