Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the usual case of head pressure and dizziness might be in concern with:
- Physiologic from high BP
- Scarring of previous stroke episode
- Alteration in cerebrospianl fluid pressure
- Neurochemical changes related
- Stress induced tension headache
- Migraine without aura
- Vascular headache with venous insufficiency of some sort
- aneurysm condition
However, a detailed physical examination with or without an MRI is the best way to diagnose and treat accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
