Since June last year, I've been suffering with headaches. This coincides with starting my job during the pandemic and having to wear a tight fitting FFP3 mask and wearing a face mask all day which pulls on my ears as well as wearing my glasses. It feels like a constant dull but very uncomfortable pushing / pressure on my occiput area which extends down to my neck and sometimes up to my temple but mainly on the right side. Sometimes I struggle to hold my head upright, feeling that my head is too heavy for my neck.
I've done a bit of Googling which suggests it could be compression headaches, but also says that it should ease within an hour of removing the trigger. I've had this one since Wednesday and paracetamol and ibuprofen aren't touching it. Ive been to the chemist this morning who suggested co-codamol.
Does anyone have any experience on this? Or advice? What can I do, other than stop wearing masks / my respirator, which obviously I need for my job.
