Head pressure is ruining my life

Not to scare you, but just to share my own head pressure/ache story. I had this issue for months last year. It affected every day and made many activities difficult. Nothing I tried worked, unfortunately (massage, physio, accupuncture) but eventually one day I couldn't be woken up by my family and they took me to Emergency. I got scanned and it turned out I had a brain tumour and they did emergency surgery to remove it, and then I fell into the world of brain cancer. To note: the brain surgery / tumour removal stopped the head pressure, because the tumour had literally been putting pressure on the rest of my brain.

I sincerely hope this is not the case for you. But it is worth a scan.

Hello @holdinghope, welcome to Connect. Thank goodness you were able to have emergency surgery and remove the tumor. I can't imagine what a blessing that was for you to relieve the pressure. It's great of you to share your experience in hopes of helping others troubleshoot.

How have you been navigating so far? Are you finding helpful conversations surrounding brain cancers?
