Suggest Treatment For Severe Pressure In The Head And Anxiety

I have been having pressure on my head (top) like my brain is expanding. It comes and goes. Now I feel crawly feeling on the sides and top of head. I had MRI and CT scan on brain and came back normal. Neurologist and doctor said it was anxiety. I have no anxiety or depression. I am very active person and exercise 5 times a week and happy with my life. I sleep 8 hours daily. I still cannot find out what is causing such symptoms. I have seen a chiro and he said it was pinch nerve. I get better than the same symptoms continue. It has been 4 or more months with this problem.

Neurologist,  's  Response
there are many types of headache. As you describing- feeling pressure on your head with normal CT & MRI of brain may suggest that you are having "Tension type headache" (TTH). Its name being tension does not mean that it is due to tension. and it is curable with appropriate medicines.
