I'm just wondering how many have this head pressure thing. I have mentioned mine before and I'm still feeling it from time to time.  It feels like strong pressure starting at the top of my head, like a change in the pressure. Like when your head feels when your upside down and all the blood flows to it.

Sounds like sinuses to me I get pressure all the time especially before it's about to rain or when I wake up

I like to call that "the brain pain". I've experienced that for many years and even went as far as going to the ER about 5 years ago. I had a CT scan and they found nothing. It turns out for me, it's caused my tension in my neck and shoulders, pinching on nerves and causing a pressure or throbbing feeling in my head.

When it happens it's very fast but has really scared me, but it turns out it all just stems back to being anxious and tense for me. I shouldn't be surprised.

Yes, I have this as well...

For me, it feels like I am almost being pushed down upon from my head, like a force is making me want to sit or lie down...it is so strange! When I first started feeling it, the compulsion to lie down was really strong...not great when you are out in public!! ;p

I also chalk it up to anxiety, as this symptom goes along with other anxiety issues, and has never been attributed to anything else.

Hi

Yes I have had this before as well.

I am the same as Park and have always put it down to tension in my neck and shoulders as well as my upper back. Anxiety could also be the cause if it is something which is really worrying you i would go and see your doctor.
