Pressure in Head

[Emily McGurk]

hi. I'm completely new here but thought maybe this would help me.

I'm having a weird pressure in my head when I move or bend over. Of course I googled it and it came up with a bunch of info on brain tumors. My coworkers are telling me it's just a migraine and that I should just take some pain pills but I can't shake the idea that it's something way more serious, like a brain tumor.

I don't know how to stop the thought. Even though I know it's pretty silly to think so drastically I can't help it.

Has anyone else ever experienced this type of feeling? Should I go to the doctor? I'm so worried.

One of the things that happendicitis to you when suffering anxiety is high blood pressure. Or a simple sinus infection. But, the fact that you present no other symptom than the pain while bending down... then I would pribald lean more towards the high blood pressure. Migraines are ofrench accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound and nausea.

I see. But I've had this feeling for a couple days, would it be possible that I've had high blood pressure for a couple days?
Maybe it's just a stress headache? I'm not really sure. I just can't stop thinking about it.

Hi @Emily McGurk I sometimes feel like this when I bend down. My head thumps and I don't have a clue what it is. It feels like my brain is throbbing when I bend over. It is normally okay though and instead of bending over, I kneel down and I don't feel it then.

I'm not one for going to the doctor. Going to the doctor means I have to go outside which I try to avoid. I know I am wrong but I don't care about my physical health, that is because of my mental health.

If you are really worried about it then I suggest you go and see your doctor. There is no harm in getting something checked out if you are worried.

First of all ...never try to search on internet about your health problems...they are never true...only doctors can diagnose you what actually your health issue is! Not even you !
Secondly : you don't have migraine problem its your anxiety problem ..realize it and stop thinking about worst scenario and go to your family doctor...don't be anxious...otherwise soon you will stuck into anxiety disorder / hypochondria/ health anxiety disorder...
Thirdly : why i m too sure about your situation is only becoz I was suffered from health anxiety disorder ...my situation was same as you are in right now ..I also searched a lot on internet about my headaches symptoms ...and believed that I had a tumor...but when I went to doctor they told me that mri reports are normal i dont have any single disease i'm completely normal....they told me its your anxiety symptoms that causing your headache...and nothing else but I won't believed them and keep worrying ...and soon I stuck health anxiety disorder...! now after 8 months finally I overcome from my disorder! Keep in mind that its very easy to enter in anxiety disorder but its really very very hard to come from it !
So don't panic and don't worry at all...what you have seen on internet about your symptoms just forget that ..that's really false ...go to your doctor don't be a doctor everything will be good always think positive

Key word there hun" can't stop thinking about it". In that case I would suggest a tension headache . And that's a good point there... Although high blood pressure can be present for prolonged periods of time... if irt was causing headaches then the symptoms if left untreated would get progressively worst and eventually hospitalization would be required. Are you getting plenty of sleep or sleeping too much?

I am a hypochondriac myself, I understand how you feel in terms of worrying. Try to calm down. It most likely isn't a brain tumor. Remember that tumors like those tend to be rare.
