Symptoms?
Hi!
I am not sure what I am looking for... mostly curious if my symptoms align/make sense to advocate and spend $ on pushing for more tests. (Tired of spending money on no answers, and 20 years of advocating is...tiring)
Ive been dealing with pressure headaches in the back of my head since I was a teenager. They were always bad when I had a cold/coughed a lot.
About 14 years ago I had one that lasted about 2 weeks and was complete debilitating. I had cried a lot and had a lot of tension.
I went to the dr. He ordered a CT and said I have inflamed sinuses and that is causing the pressure when I bend over/cough/sneeze etc.
I have gone in to the walk in clinic with unbearable pain, to be told to take ibuprofen.
Recently I went because my tmj symptoms were so bad I didnt know what to do.
BUT that also relates to the the tension in my neck, I thought.
I have been blaming it all on tension but maybe the tension is increasing the headache, not causing it?
Anyhow - my headaches come and go..but are always kind of there.
But it all stems at the vase of my head. Completely debilitating often.
I have 4 kids and have spent many days in tears, scooting around on my bum trying to pick up the house, because I can not bend over to do so. The pressure is so intense.
I woke up this morning feeling a bit better but over the last hour/having to hold my head up, my headache has been getting worse.
I am attaching a checklist, I highlighted all of my symptoms.
I have other symptoms not listed but are symptoms of things like pots and eds. (Have not been diagnosed with either. I have a fibromyalgia diagnoses, along with tmj, anxiety, depression, adhd)
