Brief Answer:
MAY BE COLD OR SINUS PROBLEM; REQUIRE MORE HISTORY
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
Head pressure and numbness has many causes. Without an opportunity to examine, I am unable to arrive at a diagnosis. The common causes may be common cold, sinusitis, stress, hypertension etc. And it seems like you may be suffering from any of these.
I would like to know if you have previous history of sinusitis, hypertension.
Also are you stressed?
And also whether there is any history of head trauma?
Take tab paracetamol 500 twice daily for 3-5 days for symptomatic relief. And get back to me with answers.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards

Brief Answer:
STRESS CAN BE A FACTOR; TAKE THE FOLLOWING
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Thank you for providing the answers.
It seems like you have anxiety or stress and it is causing these problems.
Such patients are plenty these days and I just give them some medicine and ask them to cut off stress. You can do the following-
Continue paracetamol for 5-7 days.
Take tab alprazolam 0.25 mg after lunch and 0.5mg after dinner.
Avoid stressful work or situations.
If symptoms do not reduce even after 7 days, you can get a CT scan brain done to rule out any serious cause which seems unlikely.
Consult your doctor for prescription of the above.
Wish you good health.
