Well I'm not a doctor, but I can give you my personal opinion:

I get head pressure from quite a few things actually...if I don't eat enough, if I force myself to eat something I don't want to eat, if I never give into my cravings, all those things can cause head pressure for me.

If I don't get enough sleep, if I don't get enough sweets, if I'm stressing or overthinking, if I don't get enough sleep, all those things cause head pressure for me as well.

But one thing they all have in common is that I can never feel it coming, it always hits me at random. It'll go away after a while. I still recommend getting checked out by a nurse or doctor if you can, but head pressure can be cause by a lot of things, including allergies and sinus issues.

However, one thing that will make it WORSE is stressing about it. So please try to calm yourself and relax, but do get checked out. Be sure to keep your fluids up too by drinking water. Dehydration is no joke haha

I've been suffering with head pressure and dizziness on and off all summer. I went to the doc and mine was caused from a sinus infection. even though I know the cause it still freaks me out because it does come and go.
