Suggest Treatment For Pressure In The Head

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
What you are describing is classic migraine headache. This is likely being caused by anxiety. You can treat it with ibuprofen, but it is also important to treat the underlying anxiety. Anxiety is treated in the long term with either an antidepressant (such as sertraline or escitalopram), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or both. I recommend you ask your doctor about starting an antidepressant medication for anxiety, and I also recommend looking for a CBT therapist in your area.

"even though I no longer have anxiety or worried that the pressure in my cerebellum is still caused by anxiety that I have not felt.for the last 3 weeks"
This is exactly it. It was also a mistake to stop taking the Zoloft, as Zoloft takes at least 4 weeks to actually begin working. You stopped taking it too early. Go back to it with your doctor's help, and this will help your anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Your anxiety is manifesting in somatic symptoms. This is common. Headache is a common somatic symptom of anxiety, even if you don't feel anxious. Talk with your doctor about trying Zoloft, and don't stop too early this time.
