Aww glad I'm Not the only one its driving me nuts can't get it out my head that its something more its not even a pain it's like a tight band on right side of my head I have noticed I do clench my jaw alot too lately but thought that would make both sides if my head hurt xx

Hi I had pressure in my head yesterday , it was tension , even though at times my mind wanted to say something else You have hit the nail on the head , I grind my teeth in my sleep , dont no I am doing it , but the dentist can tell i do , also like you my teeth & jaw is always clenched , i have to try & relax it , but its hard work as its clenched without me always knowing it , yesterday when I was having pains I realised & had to make an effort to keep it relaxed , then it started to improve , its not what you think it is , I even saw a neurologist who said the same , anxiety

No it doesnt make both sides of your head hurt , usually its my right side , having said that it had a change yesterday & was the left

Love

Aww so u get it too yes my dentist said I grind my teeth and made me a night guard but it digs into my gums n is so uncomfy yes I'm conviced it's a brain tumor I really need to stop thinking the worst on tablets for anxiety maybe they need to be upped only on 10mg xx

[Hidden in reply to Worryinglady]

no its not that , if it is i must be a walking miracle by now as I have been on about this since i was 16 & now 50 !!!! no i was offered a gum guard but knew it wouldnt be for me either

Mybe have a word with GP about your meds it wont do you any harm to ask

Remember you are not alone with this
