Can you get random pressure in your head?

[Anonymous]

I've been having random pressure in my head.

It feels like someone is pushing down hard on my head then letting go.

And if I've been sitting down for a while, it feels like I'm walking on pins.

I can't get into my doctor till next Wednesday.

I've noticed this over the last week.

Is this worth going to the emergency doctor?

Sorry, this has gone into wrong topic category. Don't know why it won't change over.

Hey girl, that random pressure in your head definitely doesn't sound normal. I would definitely go get that checked out sooner rather than later. It could be something serious, so I wouldn't wait until next Wednesday.

The pressure feeling and the pins and needles sensation when you've been sitting down for a while are both a bit concerning. That's not the kind of thing you want to just ignore or try to tough out.

If it were me, I'd go to the emergency doctor or urgent care right away, just to be on the safe side. It's better to get it checked out and have it turn out to be nothing, than to wait and risk it being something more serious.

There are a lot of different things that could be causing those symptoms - everything from sinus issues to headaches to more concerning neurological problems. And the fact that it's persisting over the past week is another red flag.

I know it's a pain to have to go to the doctor, especially since you already have an appointment scheduled. But your health should be the priority here. Don't take any chances with unexplained head/brain issues.

Go get it looked at ASAP, girl. Better safe than sorry! I hope it ends up being nothing serious, but it's just not worth the risk to wait it out. Take care of yourself and get to the bottom of what's going on. Wishing you all the best!

Are you drinking enough water & in-taking enough electrolytes? I've heard that the brain swells when it's dehydrated.

It's a tension headache, usually caused by muscular tension in your neck. I get them all the time. And tingling in your feet after not touching the ground for a while is also nothing to worry about

Some kind of tension headache, maybe.
