Hello dear,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com. If you would have presented to me with this medical history,I would have given the clinical explanation as-Tension headache can increase in severity at times and can feel like increased heaviness or pressure in head.However, congestion in face and swollen glands are unrelated.Please take ENT specialist's opinion for the same. Please start doing mental relaxation exercises/yoga/meditation to ease off your anxiety levels. Tab. amitriptyline 10 mg once a day at bedtime can be taken to improve Tension headache.Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs can be taken at the time of severe headache intermittently.I hope it helps.PLEASE TAKE MEDICINES UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDANCE.
