Does anyone have pressure top of you head

Hi Nikkiox, I can truly say "yes" to every physical symptom you have experienced
as well as every negative thought in the process.
The pressure you are feeling on top of your head as well as could be on the sides,
jaw and back of head, all come from fear of our anxiety which in turn tightens
our muscles. We then get scared once again which causes "fear of fear" aggravating
the first symptoms. Once we start feeding into our negative thoughts, we spiral
out of control.
Muscular tension headaches could also be the cause in what you are feeling but once
again they are based upon tenseness and fear. Once we have been diagnosed with
anxiety, we need to be our own advocates in health care. Seeing your doctor if it seems
like something different. But also being rational enough to understand how anxiety
works in giving us physical symptoms that don't have a health risk.
I got rid of my head pain when I started doing muscle relaxation meditation and
practicing my breathing to reduce my stress. xx
Thank you so much appreciate it 😁 like I suffer with headaches but I don’t have them so bad now but today I feel all unreal and like prussure left hand side head and on top I worry then if it a tumour or something early hours this morning I woke feeling all floaty and like body was shutting down then goes it wierd xx
Upon wakening, we can experience "morning anxiety". Cortisol levels as
well as Adrenaline are at it's highest at that time. Anticipating a new day
with new expectations can put us in an anticipatory anxiety mode.
Upon awakening is when I do my first meditation of the day. Once again
in midafternoon and then again before bed. Eventually the body learns
to respond to these respite moments. Breathe xx
I have MS and have had 2 relapses in which I had "head hug" instead of the normal around the body squeeze. It lasted for so long I had to have a run of prednisone each time to make it go away. It felt like I had a band tied around my head, above my ears, and someone was tightening the band. With that, came the intense head fog that is one of my primary MS issues.
