What Causes Pressure Feeling In The Head?

Hi I have a weird feeling in the front of my head by my eyes. I accidentally inhaled plastic #5 fumes from a pill bottle. Not sure if thats why I feel this way. I have a a hard time focusing my eyes and concentrating. I have a lot of pressure on the sides of my head(temples) and on my eyes. What should I do fix this. I kinda feel drugged. I also feel irritable. Id appreciate any help

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.The plastic fumes you inhaled might have caused some neurotransmitters release and some heaviness/pressure in head.This effect should be temporary.Pressure in the head with irritability and difficulty in concentrating can be manifestation of 'Tension type headache'.Medicines like amitriptyline should be of help.Please take medicines under physician's guidance only.I hope it helps.
