What Could Prolonged Headache With Shooting Pressure In Head Indicate?
I have had a severe headache for 4 days, mostly on the sides of my head and in the back of my head, when I rise from a sitting position I get a wave of pressure that starts from the back of my head and shoots up to the top of my head. I have been taking 4 Advil every 4-5 hours, not helping.

Hello,
I hope there is no history of any recent trauma, it could also be related to any recent stress or due to consumption of eatables like cheese and coffee or chocolate.
Kindly avoid all these things, also try to isolate yourself in a silent dark room, avoid any kind of stress and keep yourself hydrated. If it becomes severe then you have to take triptans.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purnima Sharma
