Q: Pressure In Head?

Hi everyone,

I'm so amazed to find this site and see that I'm not nuts with these symptoms I've been having. Trying to describe it to my doctor is awful as they just say it's so unusual. While I feel for all of you, I'm happy to find that I'm not alone.

I have a couple of related symptoms that I haven't heard anyone mention but I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced them.

When I'm dealing with the shortness of breath/yawning thing, very often I will start to feel intense pressure building up in my head. A feeling of fullness in my head! And I'm often afraid or unable to eat anything during these times as I don't feel capable of swallowing properly. It's all very claustrophobic and scary!

Has anyone else had the head pressure or difficulty swallowing??

Thanks, Gigi
