What Can Cause Pressure In The Head And Dizziness After Sitting For A Long Period?

After sitting for an extended period of time I feel as if I have pressure in my head like swimming deep in water, but also feel like the room is spinning. not quite vertigo spin but as if it got any worse I might pass out. I have not passed out and am able to answer and communicate fine in meetings. My ears some times feel like they need to clear. I would relate this to when light is flashing or you are driving down the road and trees are giving off shade causing a spinning in your head. No one has noticed anything different not even my wife except for when I say I need a second I feel weird. Blood pressure is 129/90 pulse 90 a little high but I have been working out and eating better. If I stay moving around all day and active I do not feel this way. I think it is only when I sit down. oxygen blood level is 96%. I have no idea but I started a new job and am afraid of loosing it if I take time off to go to the doctor.

Hello,

You may be suffering from migraine headache. Which may be triggered in the office may be due to some light or monitor or sound etc.
It may be associated with vertigo, floated in front of eye or aura.

Use tablet Sibelium once daily for one month. Use tablet Naprosyn twice a day for five days. Do yoga and meditation regularly. If symptoms not improved, please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
