What Not to Do to Get BAD Head Pressure

For me, while the heat does not make the head pressure better - it has never made it worse. Typically I think that heat would make migraine worse.

 

Well--my 'head pressure' like the upper portion of my head has a band around it and the inside upper part (behind and above the eyes is filled to 'bursting' (no pain--like with a migraine), but intense lightheaded feeling. After dealing with it awhile--I feel like I can't do anything but sit back or lay down and when I do--I fall asleep.
Then have trouble sleeping at night. Waken feeling better--but after getting up--not long the symptoms return. Has worsened along with the hearing loss worsening this past year. Had an MRI of my brain recently--thankfully I have one-- --and nothing wrong there. But wondering if the fact I take low dose Xanax 2 tablets (in half doses) most days to deal with this, might be the cause or adding to it. Any thoughts or anyone else dealing with this quality of life altering condition and have Meniere's too? Thanks

 

Wearing a hat that’s too tight for me always irritates my head pressure.

 

I am going through this same type of head pressure. Even my teeth and cheekbones hurt! Did you ever find help with these symptoms? I used to suffer from typical migraines, and now my Neurotologist says I have a migraine variant. He does not believe I have Ménière’s ( my ENT believes I do have atypical Ménière’s). I don’t know what to believe. I am also wondering if my allergy shots are somewhat to blame. I just started them two weeks ago. I am highly allergic to mold spores and they are very high in our area right now. I just need relief!

 

Svines,
Get the book Heal Your Headache By Buchholz. I didn't understand what migraines could be or feel like until I read. You probably have vestibular migraines. Some people have both menieres and vestibular migraines. The book was recommended by a valued member here Vicky. It is only $11 on Amazon. Get the second updated reprint 2018. Best to you -Bonnie
