Its been about 1 month since i started to get a tight band like feeling around my head. Went to doctor, took blood work-normal, ctscan-normal, and he gave me fioricet and nothing happened, motrin-nothing. Nothing seems to help Ive been for massages 3 times. Everyone tells me it was stress. I also lost 60lbs. Im wondering if the stress and the weight loss have anything to do with this. I had also been on the pill for 5 years and was having spotting for two weeks. I went to a chiropractor today and i hope that will help. Any ideas on what this could be. I just feels like someone is constantly squeezing my head.

Same here! My head feels exactly as you describe. In the past sinus med gave me relief but nothing is helping me this time. I live on a dirt road and I've noticed any bumps or just any jolt to my head makes it pound. I feel like I can feel my heart beat in my head everytime. Don't know how much longer I can stand this. Hope you find relief soon.

Well mine isn't as bad today as it has been. I've had alot of sinus drainage so maybe that helped. I have a doc appt. tomorrow gonna tell him what he is doing is not working. Are you feeling any better? Mine usually comes back in the afternoon, man I hope not.
