Head Pressure?

Does anyone seem to have pressure in their head? With wife goes through times were is feels like her head has a great pressure inside of it. When she first described it we thought it was like a sinus pressure (I have allergies and hay fever all the time so I know what that is like) but it does seem to move or make her nose run or respond to decongestants or anti-histamines like an allergy related thing would.

She also gets regular headaches and what seems like migraine 'aruas' at times, but she decribes this as being completely different, as a pressure inside of her head.

If anyone else does get this does it seem like it is connected to balance or any other issues?

Thanks
JB

Does wife have MS? Has she been diagnosed, and has she seen an eye doctor? Optical Neuritis can cause symtoms like that and is very common in MS patients.
