Hi,

Hoping someone can advise if they have had similar.

So for the past few days (i think, can’t remember when it started).

I’ve had a pressure feeling on the right side of my head. It’s the right side only. Not a pain as such but a pressure as if something is sitting on my head. My ear also feels clogged but no other symptoms of a ear infection.

If I lie down and lie on the side where the pressure is then it goes away slightly.

Anyone had anything similar? It’s really getting me down

Perhaps some sinus inflammation- try a steam inhalation or some decongestants and see if that helps. Does the discomfort go with painkiller such as ibuprofen?

No painkillers are not doing anything because it isn’t pain as such just like a pressure feeling....so hard to explain

I get a sensation a bit like this ahead of a migraine

It’s such a weird sensation to try and explain. It’s almost like a numb heavy pressure. Really odd but it’s irritating the crap out of me x
