This started about 1.5 years ago immediately after a weightlifting session. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it, but when it didn’t go away and became bothersome, I started seeing many doctors.

I experience a pinpoint-like squeezing sensation, especially in the back of my head, the top of my head, and sometimes above my forehead. At other times, it feels more like pressure and fullness.

I’ve had multiple MRIs, and aside from venous hypoplasia—meaning one of my veins is thinner than the other—the doctors said this could be the cause. However, I personally feel like this may not fully explain it, so I’ve continued researching other possibilities, such as occipital neuralgia.

My question is: has anyone experienced this or something similar?

During the day, the pressure or squeezing sensation in that area can sometimes disappear through my own Valsalva maneuver or random neck movements.

Hello, for about 1.5 years I've been experiencing certain health problems in my body. I have episodes of flu-like fatigue, and besides that, I feel sensations of pressure, tightness, or fluid in specific areas of my head. Some days it decreases significantly, changes location, or disappears, and it can occur in different parts of my head. The fatigue is similarly variable. I've been to dozens of doctors, but the last doctor I saw suggested it might be a somatic condition and said this could be possible. I started taking Duloxetine (Duxet) 5 days ago. What are your thoughts?

Can antidepressants indirectly increase libido?

I've had an anxiety disorder for about 2 years, and even before that, I've been dealing with low sexual desire. Can antidepressants indirectly improve libido?
