Default A question - pressure?

Do you ever feel a sensation of pressure in your head or behind your eyes or elsewhere? If so, does it relate to anything like meds, time of day, etc?

Yes, I sometimes feel a 'yoke' of pressure across the my neck & shoulders. This used to preface migraine attacks when I suffered from them. I think it dates back to an RTA in the 80s when I suffered whiplash the entire length of my spine. I've seen posts on this before. I rarely get the feeling now but when I do I feel tingling across the tops of my shouder blades. I don't think it's anything to do with PD.

Default pressure

Yes, my husband had what he described as pressure in the head and no drs. could give us a reason. He underwent numerour CT's & MRI's. He took prozac and that helped some. It was really difficult to work through those times. This began before any other symptoms of his disease. So good to hear someone else bring this subject up.

Default Pain in back of head.

Look up Arnold Chiari malformation. Do the symptoms seem like yours?

I have pain in the area around my eyeballs that could be described as pressure. It's worse when I turn my eyes too far to the side. Turning my eyes too quickly can give me a sort of neural shock--which is sort of like a cascade of pain or pressure waves that can extend all the way to my neck and shoulders. I've also noted that turning my eyes to either side can make my tinnitus worse.

All of the above problems are relieved by sinemet.
