Neurologist,  's  Response
Feeling of pressure in head on lying in bed may be suggestive of raised intracranial pressure. I advise you to get MRI Brain with contrast to rule out any metastasis and also rule out carcinomatous meningitis. If some suggestion of contrast enhancement in meninges on contrast MRI, lumbar puncter with CSF analysis may be required.
