Burning/Stinging headache. Feels like a pressure built up in my head (occurs usually when I'm sleep deprived)

I've been experiences headaches where I feel a strange and horribly unpleasant burning/stinging sensation that almost feels like a pressure built up in my head. As long as I get adequate sleep the headache seems to almost disappear. However, if I don't sleep well as I often don't I get these headaches that have put a huge damper on how I live my life and get in the way of practically everything. I've talked to doctors and a neurologist and no-body can seem to tell me exactly what it is I'm experiencing.

I'm really hoping that someone on here feels something similar that has some advice on coping strategies or possible solutions.

I understand the pressure you are feeling, it is horrible. I have suffered for years and learnt to live with the pressure and strange feelings. I use mindfulness and meditation to overcome them. I hope this helps, best wishes x
