What Causes Dizziness With Headaches And Pressure In Head?
For over a year now I get headaches every day. My doctor said I had migraines and had prescribed me meds. They no longer work. And for the past few months I have been going to sleep and waking up with a headache.I have pressure in my head and neck. When I bend over or lean forward or twist around, I get dizzy and feel like the room is spinning. What can be causing this? My doctors still just say its migraines. But I m thinking otherwise.
Your symptoms seem to be related to tension type headache, which could be associated with migraine headache.
It is a typical pressure like headache which can be daily.
What is the medication you have taken for migraine? Do you use daily painkillers? You should know that the chronic use of painkillers can lead to chronic daily headache medically induced.
From the other hand it is important performing a cervical column X ray study to exclude possible osteoarthrosis related to the neck pain and the episodes of dizziness.
An ENT specialist consult may be needed if suspicions of an innner ear disorder are raised during physical examination.
I would advise discussing with your attending physician the possibility of starting therapy with an antidepressant like citalopram or amytriptiline which are really effective in relieving and preventing headache in chronic daily headache.
