I have had pressure moving from top of head to left side to bottom of head for 2 months , feels muscles are pulling down ,like a brick is on top of head and swelling feeling . It feels like my head is bouncing and the pressure is hitting a nerve. Iam having a cat scan soon could this be sinus problems or something else. It s so annoying because I can t focus with this feeling in my head?
Sinus pain is where the sinuses are (near the nose). Many other headache possibilities and a reason for a head scan if it is a new headache. AND..... a nerve pinched at the very top of the spin in the back of the head gives pain in that area that goes up the back of the head to the top. It is associated with muscle cramps and generally gets worse with any movement of the neck (bouncing, turning, walking, etc.) This is a serious condition because if the spine is unstable it can lead to total paralysis--broken neck. AND simple x-rays of the neck can spot this.
