Default Muscular head pressure on exertion

Mouse1, for me, any overexertion, whether it be exercise, lifting, or doing too much around the house, brings on the full feeling, or torqued-brain feeling, or pressure in my head. Even stress or anxiety can trigger it. My main form of exercise is walking. I walk at a moderate pace. Over time, I've been able to pick up the pace some.. But listen to your body, or perhaps your brain ! And use that as your guide.

I know there's been other threads, where people say they try to push through their symptoms. But with me, once I start getting the head pressure, it's best to stop.. And not make it worse. It will only prolong the symptoms.. Ice afterwards and rest usually helps.

I also have an upper cervical, atlas injury, so it further complicates things.

Hang in there, and take it a day at a time..
