I have a bad pressure headache,?


Question:
with a blood pressure of 110/86, it feels like pressure in my head, and my head is hot and I'm sweating. I feel dizzy and earlier today on my way to work, I felt like I was going to pass out. I took extra strength Tylenol earlier today and Motrin 800 a couple of hours ago but neither worked. Does anyone have suggestions what I should do or what it could be? Thanks.

Answers:
I don't believe the blood pressure to be the reason for your headache. Your blood pressure is normal, even below normal, you don't have high pressure.

It's very important to answer following questions:

- These headaches do they have come suddenly ? From one moment to another ?
- Is your neck stiff ?
- Do you feel losing consciousness ?
- Do you feel nausea ?

When can answer one or all of these questions above with a clear yes, then you MUST go immediately to a hospital.

One of these symptoms is also dizzyness and you said before that you feel this way.

Please go immediately to a hospital that has a CT to look into your head.

This sounds very serious.

Pain caused by migraine would stop or would at least decline by taking all the pain killers. Waiting too long could be fatal.

Other Answers:
take your finger out of your nose that should relive some if not all the pressure
Your blood pressure is in the normal range, I think. Could you be pregnant? Have you ever had vertigo before? Could you have a fever? Do you have a history of migraines in your family? If you still have the headache tomorrow see a doctor.
you might have sinus pressure. Try cold packs in the back of your head. Go to Dr. of you get nausea.
Maybe a sinus headache. Take some decongestant.
take a deep breaths and relax do something that u enjoy doing .....if ur job is causing this much problems i would look elsewhere
perhaps nasal infection use a decongestant to relieve pressure if not helping then see a dr for more serious things that may be underlying.. drink water and eat too this causes headaches but pressure is a sign of infection.. or ear infection
do you feel there is pressure in the area of your sinuses? (forehead, around the eyes or nose?) if so, it could be a sinus headache (try taking Sudafed which opens up the sinuses and reduces sinus pressure.) It also could be caused by sinus infection or migraines...both of which are best treated by your doctor. A sinus infection might be accompanied by fever and/or nasal discharge as well as pain...migraines have a variety of symptoms that can vary from person to person.
Your BP is normal, so I don't see where that is an issue. I would make an appt with your doctor to rule out anything that needs treatment and see if they can shed a light on what's causing the headaches.
Hmmm
I get pressure headaches, usually have to do with my sinuses and allegries. I am prone to sinus infections and bad headaches.

There is also vertigo, which makes you light headed, I used to have that.

Also ear probs can cause that. I hope that has helped.

Good luck to you..
If it persists for a week, I would see a dr.
Honey it could be any thing.....
Stress, Headache Migraines, TMJ, Sinus Headache, Constant Headache, Pinched Nerve, you should really go to your DR. if it is any of these things he or she can treat them for you, possibly give you a medicine to stop it.


TMJ is Temporo-Mandibular Joint. The joint where the the lower jaw joins the temporal bone of the skull on each side of your head
