My daughter has had symptoms with head pressure, etc and has benefitted from prism glasses. Although she does not attend CAL Berkeley, she found their eye clinic to be a top choice. Maybe you could call them and they could refer you to an eye clinic that is similar to theirs near you.

In addition, she was tested at UCSF (vestibular clinic) and it turns out that that fall she took 4 years ago triggered a type of migraine call migrainous vertigo which is not vestibular migraines. The specialist said that most of her patients who presented as my daughter does were also told incorrectly that this was all in her head...

They also found after reviewing her MRI that she had sustained a fracture in the C2 vertebra

So needless-to-say that there a many components to her injury.

I am impressed that you can even be in school. Congrats on this feat--it is not easy.

Acupuncture has helped with her head pressure, but our insurance only pays 15 weeks worth. It might benefit you both with your anxiety and the head pressure. Look into getting your eyes tested and vision corrected. Along with everything else you are doing...it might just help reduce your symptoms.

My best
