I have mentioned it to my doctor and she said it's anxiety, but it is hard for me to believe that. Sometimes it really freaks me out and it happens randomly. Like the other day I was chatting with a friend and suddenly my head felt full of pressure and I just wanted to end the conversation. I wonder if it is caused by my allergies? Anyone else ever get this? I have had it before and my blood pressure was fine, cause I always thought it had something to do with that. Anxiety and head pressure?? rolleyes

Deborah it is anxiety but think about it like this, if you didnt have anxiety a little head pressure would not
ruin your day, in fact you would just take something for it and go on with what ever you do, see being over
concerned about the sinus thing brings out more anxiety than you might normally have, the what if's run
through our mind with the speed of light. "nothing is different except you tend to try and associate a hundred different scenarios to this simple human symptom". We all have this symptom, we dont all try to
fit it to a health condition, Deborah you don't need this, let yourself live without trying to figure out what
every human twitch and pain stands for. You are much healthier than you realize, be at Peace.

Larry do you get this head pressure feeing also?

Yes, for many years, and i also had the same kind of fears you do, also many HA people do this, i doctored
myself with booze thinking i was ok, i quit drinking and my ghosts were there waiting, so i had to face my
fears one at a time, been ok the last ten years, wish i had known in my fourtys what i know now.
It's hard to grasp, but these aches and pains are everyday things to those who don't have anxiety for us
it's always something fatal to worry about. Deborah i still have the head congestion problem but mine is
chronic now i am able to accept it, God knows i wish you Peace!

Head pressure is a transient, but consistent symptom for me...

IOW...it comes and goes, but has been one of the things I have struggled with a long time.

I have read numerous posts here regarding the same issue!

SC, does it make your ears feel full sometimes?
Posted 4/6/2015 5:05 AM (GMT 0)
Yes!

I will have heavy head...full ears, fuzzy/thick feeling brain...

Sometimes it is simply from anxiety...sometimes it is connected with migraine.

Once I also had a dull ringing in my ears, and the feelings with the pressure were persistent for days (with anxiety it doesn't tend to last for more than a few hrs or a day at a time) so I went in and I did have the begining of a middle ear infection. So if you have had a virus or allergies lately...it might be worth getting your ear checked out for congestion that could have turned into an infection.

...but yeah, it can also just be anxiety, so don't be suprised if you check out fine with the doctor...
