Q: Head Pressure / pain, When Laying down?
asked by: BrooklynBoy on September 24th, 2007

Laying down, or resting in a recliner cause pressure and head pain. When I finally go off to sleep, when I wake up, I have a headache. Than when I get out of the bed, walk around, the pain decreases.

w/m 49, excellent health, no drink, no smoke.

I been to neuro dr., bone doctors, had cat scans, MRI, facet injections trigger point injections, you name the test, I have had it.
I had this small lump in the right rear of my neck.
They do not know what it is all test were normal.

Can sinus cause this, or what else? Please help?

Anyone out there?

Thank you

Muscle pain
My similar symptoms are due to muscle pain caused by a damaged TMJ. I used to get pain after a couple hours of standing up, and now after surgery I get pain after laying down - only on the back, when I turn my head to the side it subsides. The pain accumulates, is deep dull muscular and it took a really long time to figure out what it was - it covers the whole half head and neck and is present behind the eye and above and in the teeth.

Surpisingly, the most effective treatment was Botox, and cheap injections of temporary pain relievers also helped (which may pre-indicate whether Botox would be effective for your cases).

Stress greatly increases the pain. Even for no reason if something stressful happens the pain kicks in immediately.
