¿Alguna de ustedes ha obtenido alguna vez una respuesta sólida sobre por qué tenemos tanta presión en la cabeza? Hoy está muy mal y también me duele mucho el cuello. Siento como si los ojos y debajo de los ojos estuvieran hinchados, pero me miro en el espejo y están bien... Solo quiero ir a casa y acostarme, pero no puedo hacerlo. Gracias, señoras...
Hola Laurie,
Me alegra que hayas sacado esto a colación. He estado teniendo ese problema. Lo tuve ayer y hoy. No fui a mi cita hoy porque no quería conducir con esa sensación. He estado entrando y saliendo de la cama todo el día. Salí ayer con eso y tuve miedo de desmayarme. Lo soporté, volví a casa y me metí en la cama. Esa es mi forma de hacer frente para evitar tener un ataque de ansiedad. Ojalá tuviera algunas sugerencias para ti y espero que ambas obtengamos alivio pronto.
Hi,yes I get lots of head pressure and neck pain,it makes me feel very off balance,I rub a natural muscle rub on my neck to help ease the tightness of my neck muscles.One day all this will go away ,I just hope it's soon x
Yes i get that a lot, i also get sudden kicks in my head, i have been told by a specialists, that, because i dont get my migraine headaches like i use too now, all down to menopause, im getting deffered symptoms, the pressure is a sign of a migraine coming on, its due to swollen blood vessles, which, is a warning sign, and what causes the pain afterwards during a migraine, or, headache. The kicks i get, come in clusters which, is the type of migraines i use to get when it came with pain, whilst i still get migraine, it seems different, i dont get auras with mine, but the pressure feeling i get, as an early warning sign, if you have never had migraines, this could be what is happening to you, or, you could be starting with migraines due to menopause, if this is what happens to you, take ibuprofen for the swelling feeling, if you then get pain, after two hours after the ibuprofen, take painkiller like paracetomol, ibuprofen will work for swelling/ pressure, but not migraine pain, migraines you need both, if you dont use the ibuprofen, or, something similar whilst you have the pressure, the paracetomol will not work, if or, when you get th epain, as its too late, so,you have to wait until it finishes its cycle, it ends with vomiting or feeling sick, you may also notice extreme sensitivity to light, and noise, dark quiet rooms make you feel better,, this could be one reason for it.
Quizás eso es lo que está pasando. Solía tener muchos dolores de cabeza antes de mi ciclo, pero en los últimos meses ya no los tengo, pero sí tengo presión en la cabeza. Nunca hay dolor, solo presión y a veces me duele la parte posterior del cuello. Antes me tomaba muchos medicamentos para el dolor cada vez que se acercaba mi ciclo porque los dolores de cabeza eran terribles. Hmmm, acabas de darme algo en qué pensar.
yes thats whats happened to me jamie, my dr suggested i had, had a mini stroke, due to these kicks and loss of vision i was getting, which was new to me, she gave me a scan, it wasnt im glad to say a stroke, it happened three times in one week, after the scan, the specialists said, that when you have a stroke, you dont lose your sight completely in one eye, you only lose it down one side, but you can lose it completely in one eye with migraines, and given i had three of these attacks in one week, it suggested cluster, which then made sense to me, i beleived it to be migraines, but because i hadnt got the pain, i couldnt be sure, but the heavy pressure had always been my early warning sign, but the kicks were new to me, but when i get the pain it is different now, and yes it does go into my neck. A tip when you next get the pressure, and youcan feel the pressure, particularly if its on one side, i want you to push the area in with your finger, until you hit the pressure point, if its a swollen blood vessel due to migraine, pushing it in with your finger, will reduce the swelling immediately, but as soon as you release your finger, the swelling will come back up, now, when i use to get the pain, and i did that, the pain would go, because, the blood vessels have reduced, then when you release your finger, the blood vessles dilate again and thats then what causes the pain, due to the swelling putting pressure on nerves, and thats what causes the pain in migraines.
Oh wow, acabas de iluminarme. Ya no siento el dolor. Solo la presión ahora, lo cual pensé que era raro. Los dolores de cabeza solían ser la señal de que mis ciclos estaban por llegar.
i know isnt it weird, i do still get migraines, knowhere near as many, but do get the pressure. but they are so different, couldnt say in what way, except to say different,
If you google chronic fatigue syndrome, you will find a lot of our menopause symptoms on that, but, an interesting symptom is, feelings like you have the flu, and a chill, and its what puts your body clock and sleep pattern out, and a change in how migraines happen, and a difference in the pain, very interesting, so, i think chronic fatigue caused by menopause, is in part whats causing some of our symptoms, doesnt matter, whats causing the fatigue, everyone will still experience the same symtpoms if menopause is causing their fatigue.
gracias señoras, tengo presión en la cabeza alrededor de los ojos y rigidez en la mandíbula, el cuello está constante, simplemente no me siento yo misma, te hace sentir muy incómoda en tu propio cuerpo, he estado sin analgésicos tanto como he podido, pero a veces la presión se dispara a un fuerte dolor de cabeza y cedo, está haciendo que la vida sea muy difícil, la motivación es baja con ello, el sueño no marca ninguna diferencia si puedes entre los flushes y la presión definitivamente es peor cuando tienes un flush. Me alegro mucho de que no sea solo yo, hablaré con mi médico, también es peor después del ejercicio, se siente como si la sangre estuviera luchando por pasar por las venas de mi cabeza, sé que suena loco, pero es la única manera en que puedo describirlo, me alegro de no estar sola y simpatizo con cualquiera que sufra con ello, no es agradable.
