Have constantly had this pressure in my head all day, have took ibuprofen which has done nothing for it. Took myself back to bed and still woke up with it. It's all in the right side of my face and around my ear. It's making me feel slightly faint every now and then and all I want to do is close my eyes. I suffer with migraines including pressure migraine but I'm not sure if this is one of them? Any advice would be great.
Coul dit be worrying about something...a work deadline?
I went to the hospital and, believe it or not, they referred me to this site and the site's explanation of tension headache
My opinion..........stay on the ibuprofen to get u through
Hi no not worrying about anything and have had it 4 days now. I have taken Co codimal and that hasn't helped. Can't get to drs til next week as there's no appointments. It's just constantly feeling like someone is squeezing the inside of my head and I feel like I wanna pass out.
I have it now.......I can't get rid of it. Ibuprofen does nothing for me.
I'm taking 200 mg gabapentin three times but I stil get it sometimes and I have it now. Cold flannel on the back of the neck and drinking lots of water will hopefully make it subside.
It's horrible isn't it! I've had a hot water bottle on back of my neck all evening, taken CoCodamol twice and ibuprofen, done nothing to ease it in any way
Drinking water (which I hate) will hopefully dilute the pressure.
Not trying to burst bubbles, but why hot water ? I would think cool ........Ibuprofen eases, not sating it works, I'd stay on them if nothing
Because when u rung 111 the clinicians said put hot water bottle there, not that it helped. Day 6 and still suffering like crazy
I've been told to alternate between hot and cold. When I'm in pain...I'll try anything.
If you say JUMP, I'll say HOW HIGH.
Ya...if your doc font know, not sure how they will. I'm sorry I'm so negative, I am just so sick of being sick, as u must be also, sorry Nikki hope we both feel better.
lol...poor JOhn
It will prob take at least 5 days before u can see an effects of the ibuprofen
It's ok I understand. I suffer from a few other conditions as well so completely understand the negativity and as you said sick of being sick. When no one can give you an actual answer it just makes it all the more frustrating!
Its sure is......I just hope that when I see the Nuerologist he gives me an answer
..................and whatever the next step is....I hope that the waiting list is not too long.
John thanks...they called last week I go May 11th
that's pretty good.
Make sure you tell him/her what you are experiencing on your WORSE day...... dont say..some days it's manageable.
Ya, I know what u mean...........I will ! thanks for the info. If one does say that, then they figure its not so bad !
I have the same problem, even my right eye feels off.... hard to explain but the doctor read my results from a ct that was done last year saying it was clear so it's not a tumour or anything. But it still sets off my anxiety. Like the right side of my head is constant pressure and my right eye...sometimes it pulsates..... I just wish it would stop. It's bringing me down.
