Reason For Having Tightness And Pressure On Temples, No Relief With Tylenol And Pain Relievers

For the past 6 days I have been having a tightness and pressure in my temples and around them. I have tried Tylenol syncs and other pain relievers with no help. Occasionally have some neck pain as well as pressure around teeth and cheeks. Whats going on?

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

The symptoms are suggestive of either
* an acute stress, which cause contraction of scalp, neck and facial muscles and thereby causing discomfort; or,

* An upper spinal problem, compressing the upper spine- a condition called Cervicalgia. A short course of anti-inflammatory drug, such as, ibuprofen will give substantial relief.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
