What Causes A Painful Squeezing Sensation On The Head?

default
Posted on Thu, 16 Apr 2015
Question: I have a squeezing sensation in my head on the left side which comes and goes throughout the day. It is mildly painful when it happens - feels like a contraction as it only lasts for about 10 seconds at a time. I have been under a lot of stress but not dehydrated. This has been going on for three days.

Brief Answer:
It is stress related headache.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Probably your headache is one of the commonest headaches that nearly everyone experiences during its life, especially after stressful situations.

Finding a solution about stress ( rest, relaxing activities) and OTC drugs ( Paracetamol eg.) should help improve your symptoms.

I don't think there is something to worry about.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
