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..
Keep the faith,

Thanks very much, it sounds like we have similar problems, at the moment though the pressure isn't going to the next level anymore (severe post concussion migraine) because Cymbalta is easing these symptoms. I just do walking now, tried swimming but it really provoked things. Stress is another factor like you said, but Cymbalta is helping with this too. I wish you well and I know how you feel!
