What Causes Head Pressure And Dizziness?
I ve been starting to occassionally have pressure in my head if I lay stomach first one my bed. It is relieved by standing back up. Today, it was bad enough to make me real dizzy, but again relieved by standing upright and then sitting in a chair for awhile.

Hello,
As you mentioned about giddiness and headache. I would like to ask you a few things - are you diabetic, are you having any signs of hypertension,? if none of this then this could be related to vertigo and may have to get it examined by a neurologist, for medication and later a physiotherapist for vertigo exercise.
In case you have pain in the neck then examining the neck and taking an MRI should help understand the soft tissue and management post that. As most people even have dizziness, headaches due to neck pathology.
In my clinical experience of 12 years, a proper clinical examination and assessment have helped to figure out the diagnosis and treatment accordingly to help patients.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
