Odd headache...

For the past few days I've had an odd... what feels like pressure or some strain on the front of the top of my head. I've had headaches every now and then from the recent heat in NY, coupled with some lack of sleep due to finals. This pressure is an odd feeling I've never had before and, while the one or two headaches I've had lasted only a few hours and went away, this pressure feeling hasn't gone away. At this point, unless I find that I'm REALLY overreacting, I'm going to the doctor over this. I just wanted to know if anybody's ever heard of this, so maybe I can have an idea of what to expect. Is it a headache? Is it a sign of my impending, painful doom?

...'Cause damn, this is annoying!

your head is going to swell to the size of Tetsuo's. OMFG!!! YOU'VE GOT AKIRA!!!!

i honestly don't know what you've got, but i've been getting those heat induced headaches too thanks to this sudden heatwave we've been getting in the city.

General rule of thumb, if any pain last more than a couple of days, you should get it checked out.

could be dehydration as well..

I've had migraines/tension headaches last 3-5 days before, buy some tension headache tylenol or whatever. Stay away from bright lights.

I'll make sure that you'll be the first person I squish in my huge, mutated arm flesh, Ashen.

Sounds like the kind of headache that you get from eating too much oily foods. Those really do suck. If you could throw up, you will feel much better.

"It might be a tumor"

"EEETS NOT A TOOOOOMAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"

Never had a headache that lasted more than a few hours. But yours is a sinus headache, probably. Allegries, small cold, anything could set it off. But as pointed out, it could be linked to dehydration as well. Just drink a ton of water and see what happens. It's good for you, anyway.

Alergies give me headaches for litterally weeks at a time. All that sinus pressure...

I get that all the time. It's a sinus headache
