Putting in AIBU for traffic (sorry)
I have been having very strange sensations particularly in my head for the last few months. It started with a sensation of a building of pressure in my head. It feels like my head and down into my chest is being pumped up and then the pressure releases after a few seconds. I dont have it everyday but when it comes it usually lasts a few days then goes for a while. It can be fairly constant throughout the day.
I dont notice it as much during the day when I am busy but during quiet periods I do.
At night I cant sleep with it unless I prop my head up on a second pillow and then it eases off. Combined with the pressure I feel strange in myself. I cant explain what it is but I feel off. My thoughts race, I feel like something is happening in my body (I have panic attacks on occasion and they are not panic attacks). I find it difficult to sleep when I am like this. I often have nights when I am find going to sleep and I wake up like this.
I get a bit teary when it happens because it is such a horrible sensation.
I went to GP a few months ago and he thought it sounded like peri and did two lots of blood to check for hormones but all came back fine. I used to get ocular migraines but havent had them in years though I know migraines come in all forms. I also suffer from sinus headaches.
I need to go back to GP again and presumably he will send me for tests/try medication for one or more potential causes but I am wondering if these symptoms are familiar to anyone.
It is very hard to explain them properly though.
I am keeping a diary to see if there is a pattern.
Thanks :)
