Missa- your "pressurized head" and tingly face ringing ears sound like upper plexus symtptoms to me...TOS can be mostly upper plexus, mostly ower plexus, or both.



if your arms are tingling on awakening from sleep- I was told to get a memory foam mattress topper and a set of sleeping wedges- one to elevate your head slightly, one to stick under your knees, and one on each side to elevate your arms a bit. If you are sleeping on them in a way that compresses the nerve, it can eventually cause more damage.

something like this:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XHGO0K?...0&linkCode=asn but add small pillows under your arms to keep them cradled.

TOS is difficult to dx, so if you are talking to a doctor that is not familiar with it, you might want to try to find a different one...?

good luck.
