Hi: I am suffering from something very similar to you, only mine has been much more recent. It all started over new years this year, I was dreadfully sick with what the doctors finally ruled as a viral infection. They took me to the e.R., but I was mostly dehydratred for several days. I just had a splitting headache. Anyways, ever since then I felt like I had a pressure in my forehead, extremely uncomfortable sometimes... And just noticeable others... Any ways, I also have had aches every day since about 3 weeks ago, that come and go throughout the day. I was very scared as to what it may be. But after talking to a family friend who is a physician I think I might know what is causing it.... I have been suffering from anxiety and a pretty good amount of stress. I was so worried that this headache may be caused by a brain tumor or anurysm or something. He said that the headaches are most likely stress related from the anxiety I have been feeling. Sure enough, I have been trying to relieve my stress and anxiety and the headaches are not nearly as severe or frequent. They are not completely gone, but they are way better. Is it possible that you might be suffering from anxiety or an unusual amount of stress? You may want to look into it. Anxiety can do some weird stuff to your body, you'd be amazed!!

Hi, thanks for your reply. I don't think i've been that stressed however i'm willing to try anything. I have taken up yoga and meditation with no results so far. Have you tried anything else to relieve your stress and anxiety?

Well, anxiety and stress are very complicated to relieve without meds, which I will not take. Its a ruthless cycle where anxiety causes stress and the added stress then causes more anxiety.... But yes, I have found ways to relieve it, which I am hoping will eventually lead to getting rid of it completely. Exercise is my one good way to relieve stress and helps my anxiety tremendously. It also helps to that I know that I have anxiety, and that there's not something wrong with me. Once I understood what it was doing, it is easier to get a handle on it. Have you had any sort of panic attacks or anything?

I don't suffer from panic attacks and exercising actually makes my headache worse! I have to make sure it's light exercise such as walking. I used to be a very anxious person but I don't get anxious very much at all now. Just wish I knew what my body is doing.

I'm working to figure out why I am having chronic headaches.

I hear that meditation helps.
I think that some of my problem is due to my posture at the computer. My chair stinks.
I also think that my jaw may have something to do with my problem.

Have you thought about talking to a naturopathic dr or a physical therapist for a massage. Have you had your neck checked out for any problems there such as a pinched nerve or something similar to that.
Have you tried using that stuff that you rub on your head. Have you had a complete eye examination? I am not a dr but these are a few of my thoughts.

Hi sandy,

i have seen several naturpaths and had a remedial massage plus massages by osteopaths. I have had my neck checked and worked on which made no improvement. I have also had a complete eye examination. I don't know about the stuff you rub on your head? What is called and what is it supposed to do?

Thanks for you message.

Hi Unique2Who,

Your case sounds very similar to mine - I am 24 and I have had a constant headache for nearly four months now, it started out of the blue and I have even had to take some time off work to try and get it sorted. I have been off work for one month now and understandably am starting to get frustrated with the whole situation. I have no symptoms other than a constant 24/7 pain in my right temple - the pain varies in intensity, sometimes causing me to cry because it is so strong. Nothing allieviates the pain and I, like you, have done loads of blood tests, CT scan of my sinuses (have an MRI tomorrow but not feeling promising), saw an ENT, had my eyes checked, etc etc and everyone keeps on saying I am fine which is very frustrating because I am not. I even saw a Chinese doctor out of desperation with Western medicine and did acupuncture too. Nonetheless I still have the headaches. I also saw a chiropractor. Lately I have started seeing a kinesiologist - and we seem to be getting to the root of the problem. The thing is you need to find someone good - I am happy to recommend him although I live in the UK and I am not sure where you are based?
Also, today I received some blood test results of other blood tests I did last week (was having a look for food allergies which I recommend you do too - the kinesiologist suggested to stop eating nightshade foods, have a look on google) and they said my kidney doesn't seem to be fully functioning. Bizarre as this had not come up in the numerous tests I did in the past few months.
Everything in your body is conncted, it could be anything ... which, trust me, I know is even more frustrating! do you have any other symptoms?
