The moment i wake up i feel my head has been stocked up with heavy things and it feels very heavy also i can feel stiffness around my jaw line. I dont think i have any kind of stress niether i am suffering from anxiety attacks..

Hello
Welcome to HCM

You are having continuous headache since last 10 days and are also having heaviness in head. You are also not getting proper relief in symptoms even after sleeping. As you are just 29 so hypertension is rare at this age still with change in life style it can be a possibility. Get your BP checked to rule out high BP as cause of headache.
Second get your vision checked. Refractive errors are one of common cause of heaviness and continuous headache.
It may also occur as a part of non specific headache or tension headache associated with depression. If everything come normal then visit a Psychiatrist for proper evaluation.

Thanks

Dear
Welcome to HCM.
Have you any medication?
The maximum you can do here is consult a GP immedietely
He may refer you to a neurologist for further investigation
Self medication can be serious
I can't believe that you did not consult a GP all these days.
Please do understand you are not a doctor
Wish you a speedy recovery
