I Need Some Input On Head Tightness Please

For the past few days my head feels like it's in a vice grip the only way I know how to put it. The pressure is horrible and scary it causes me to get really dizzy, I sit here and tell myself to relax and i can feel it loosen up only to come back a few minutes later, i also feel a slight tingling on the left side of face, please does anyone else get this i am really worried about it. i have had panic disorder for 40 years, I just was at the doctors and all my blood work came back normal, this tightness started after i saw her, i think tumor stroke in my mind it cant me just plain ole stress, any input into this would me much appreciate, Thank You

Thank You so much for the quick response just kowing some one else had it makes me feel better

I get the same thing. Mind you I have "complex" headache syndromes which means I get all sorts of buggering headaches, including migraines.

But when I'm stressed out (and mind you, it can even but unconscious/subconscious) all the muscles in my scalp just contract all at once.....like they're on a parade and moving in step. Painful, yes. Alone, no!

Hi TMT2U and welcome back!!

We have missed you.:) I hope that things have been well in general.

Sorry to hear of this recent issue...

How have your coping skills been going? I know you are familiar to our Resources, so if you need some brushing up on relaxation/stress relieving techniques...we may have added some new ones since you last looked.

Here is one that immediately came to mind when I read your post. This could really help relieve upper body tension and your symptoms!
