Does Over Production Of Spinocerebellar Fluid Cause Headaches?

My head aches because it feels like my skull is full of something. Could I be suffering from an overproduction of spinocerebellar fluid? I have no idea how this could have happened. I have been pretty sedentary lately. It does not feel like a sinus thing because the pressure is all over my head.

Hi,

Increased intracranial pressure from excess cerebrospinal fluid (usually from it not being reabsorbed rather than overproduction) is a possible cause of a headache. However, it is not the most common cause, certainly not the first diagnosis to think of. Also usually associated with other symptoms such as blurred vision or vomiting.

So I would consider other more common diagnoses such as a tensive headache or high blood pressure which can well cause the headaches you describe.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
