Hey there - I get this too!!! I have been to so many doctors and gotten so many scans. The consensus is that it’s anxiety related. It’s amazing how much anxiety can do our bodies. My doctors have recommended that I workout regularly and start trying yoga and meditation. They also suggested I start seeing a therapist so I started that a few months ago as well.
I’ve also learned not to google health fears anymore! My doctor even told me to not google any help stuff because it just scares me more!
Have you talked to your doctor about trying anxiety medication? I find that when I take my medication as needed that head pressure feeling is much less.
Hi ? Your dizzy from the pressure and the anxiousness in your body . I get that as well . It’s very concerning but the test showed well so now it’s time to try to get the anxious level down a little and then the symptoms go away
I sure hope so. I've been dealing with since June non stop 25/7 and it wakes me at night even the faintness feeling. It's horrible. Then weird tingling in head and zaps in face and head.
It's insane and the faintness feeling hat wakes me up from my sleep, and my head constantly feels like it's got buzzing or electricity going through it.
Thanks for replying. I even tried playing this evening playing outside with my son to get my mind off of it and decorating outside and it just doesn't let up
OK, Shannonpower, I have a different take on it. How about an MS hug in your head? That is exactly what I have been dealing with, but without the hug pressure this time. When I called my neuro, he put me on a 12 day run of prednisone. I have begun to come out of the after effects of it all. My head is clearer now, and I have finally started having some more energy. I have the dizziness also, with the inside the head pressure and brain fog! It's not anxiety with me, it's the dizziness and pressure between the ears. I have had this happen about 4 times now, since my diagnosis of MS. Apparently, the area of inflammation in my brain is what causes this. Please call your Neuro for help, and insist on treatment, not for anxiety, but an MS flare!
Shannonpower did you ever get any answers with your head pressure and anything to help it at all? I am so scared and I fear I'm having awarenesss seizures. I have a rescue med to take when I get the have to call 911 symptoms to prevent that, but nothing has helped this intense head pressure.
