Occasionally, when I bend over, my head feels like it will explode. Today the feeling was much worse- even when standing, I felt mild pressure, accompanied by the feeling my eyes are going to pop out from pressure and a mild headache. Anyone know why or what to do to relieve the pressure?

It is most likely  a sinis condition, perhaps allergy related. Decongestants will probably  help, but if it is as serious as you describe, you should probably see a doctor to validate this.

That happens to me sometimes when I have a sinus headache. It might be your sinuses...take a Sudafed or something and see if it helps...if not...see your doctor

you should talk to your doctor about it. even though you feel fine now, the doctor will tell you what to do if it ever happens again. =]

I would say if it's been a while since you got up and started moving around, the feeling should be back... I would call your doctor.  It could've been like a pin stroke.

You need to see your eye doctor immediately.  Stress will not cause sharp bursts of pain behind your eyes.  Be proactive about this - it's much better to be safe than sorry.

This is most likely a panic attack.  They can be very scary, but don't worry - you're not dying!  If they only happen to you during things like scary movies, then there's nothing to worry about.  The only thing you can do is - stop watching those kinds of movies!\n\nHowever, if you feel the same sensations (which can also include changes in your vision, light-headedness, tingling extremeties, etc.) in other areas of your life, then seek help.  Usually panic or anxiety attacks are caused by stress in your life.  In my experience, you can ease the frequency and severity of the attacks with regular exercise, plenty of sleep, and a good friend to talk things out with.  If these things don't help, then there are some very good, non-addictive prescription drugs out there that can make you feel 'normal' again, should the attacks become more severe.\n\nIt's not uncommon to feel anxiety - you're not alone!

See your Dr. just to make sure but this may be migraine. I suffer migraine . Don't have a lot of pain in my head but , Light ,noise and confusion make me very agitated. I sometimes have blury vision and before a headache I will have a visual aura. I do get pain in my neck with an attack. Migraine can also make you very tired. Sometimes even someone talking to me makes me want to scream. Sensivity to light and noise is constant to me ,not only when having an attack. I also have pain allover my body most of the time. Never thought there was a connection to migraine till now, maybe that is why doctors can't find a cause for the pain . I'll have to mention this idea to him . Thanks.

Yes, talk to your doctor.  Perhaps it is connected to your medication, and only your doctor can advise you there.\n\nThe only time I suffered with headaches was when I took vitamin A or E tablets daily (separately).  It felt like I had overloaded the back of my head.  So now I don't take vitamin tablets and just make sure to treat myself to a balanced diet.  Although I know that there are some ailments that are treated with vitamins.  \n\nI think that the sooner you speak to your doctor the better

VERTIGO!!! THis is an illness of the inner ear, and I think that's exactly what you have. Meclizine is the best thing you can get over the counter (I believe it is found in the name brand Dramamine). There are some Rx only meds as well. I would talk to my doctor!\n\nFrom WEBMD.COM:\n\n"Vertigo is a feeling that you or your surroundings are moving when there is no actual movement. You may feel as though you are spinning, whirling, falling, or tilting. When you have severe vertigo, you may feel very nauseated or vomit. You may have trouble walking or standing, and you may lose your balance and fall. "\n\nSound like you?

I recommend checking your pillows.  If you are sleeping on too many then your head gets jacked up all night and can cause stress and pulling on the muscles at the back of your head giving you a tension headache.  Get a very flat pillow.  Roll up a medium sized towel and tie it so it stays rolled up.  Place the towel on your bed and place the pillow over the top of it.  Lay on it so the towel falls right in the curve of your neck.  This will allow the proper support for the curve of your neck and help prevent tension headaches.  You can experiment with the size of the towel roll to find out what size is right for your particular neck.  You will need to sleep on your back for this to work.\n\nYou can try hanging your head over the edge of your bed to facilitate a curve in your neck as well.  Do not do this if you have high blood pressure or other balance problems unless you first consult a professional.  Don't do this for more than 3 minutes.  It will help stretch out your spine.  \n\nIt could also be due to grinding your teeth in your sleep.  See a Chiropractor.  They will be able to help you determine if it is your posture while sleeping that is causing the headaches.  I can say from personal experience, I rarely get headaches anymore from sleeping (I used to get them all the time) since I get adjusted regularly now.  I have also helped many patients with the same problem.

You should be ok, considering you only blacked out for a second or two, dont quit the sport if its your passion! But Im a manager for our schools basketball team, and the guys get banged up all the time, trust me, you'll be okay! Just rest for a day if thats what you feel you need, but if a headache keeps coming, then you should go to the doctor.

It sounds like the problem could be sinus-your maxillary sinuses to be exact(below your eye).  Its uncommon but possible to only have 1 sided sinus pressure. Ive examined many patients with sinus congestion and they describe the same pressure,"face falling off when they lean forward" symptoms. Possibly an ENT-(ear nose and throat  dr)would be a good start-they deal with cranial/sinus disorders. At least a specialist like that instead of a primary might have more insight  :)

i have it happen occassionaly at work, when i bend down to do something, then stand back up, things spin and change color.  if this is consistently a problem, i'd definitely call your doctor.  if it's just once in a while, i wouldn't worry too much, just make sure you're taking care of yourself as far as diet and exercise and the like.

What is actually happening is that you are pushing with your neck, and tightening the muscles around the artery traveling to your brain so the oxygen rich blood is not traveling with the typical ease you are used to.  Rather than push with your face and neck, try to push with your butt.   If you fall over or pass out go see a doctor, or if you just want to make sure, however it sounds like what i have just suggested.  Also, don't forget to breathe, its very important.  Eat more fiber.

my friend just recently had this problem, he went to his chiropracter who realigned his neck and waht not, he received a couple of massages over a couple different days and feels beeter.  he said the doctor used different pressure point and when the doctor pushed on the nerve that gave him the headache the doc was able to fix it.  i know this might not be much help, but i would reccopmend that since my fiend tried to to let it go and see if it would go away to no evail.

Whether you will go blind or not isn't the biggest issue here. The issue here is whether your intracranial pressure is under control. Are you taking antihypertensive medications at all? And what did the doctor who diagnosed you say about your treatment? The fact that you're still suffering from bad headache is a good enough indication that the pressure isn't under control yet. If you visit the ER with your headache, you should let the medical staff there know about your intracranial hypertension, and they'll do what is best for you.\nIn any case, try and make contact with your local social work service to arrange for some financial help so you can continue your treatment. Remember that intracranial hypertension can lead to more serious consequences than merely going blind. You're putting your brain's blood vessels in constant strain, and sooner or later, they'll become weaken, and you can suffer a stroke, which might be fatal. Please take care of your health. We all only live once.\nGood luck.
