What Causes Pressure In Head, Extreme Confusion And Fogginess?

Hi I have symptoms of constant head pressure that is only relieved by lying down, extreme confusion and fogginess and the inability to concentrate and focus on more than one thing at a time. Also I feel very nauseous but can't seem to throw up. It is a very scary feeling, what should I do?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
If it is episodic then it is likely that it could be a panic disorder. If it is persisting for long then it could be a manifestation of depression. In either case you will need to take tablets like paroxetine and clonazepam for few months. It is treatable and will recover completely with medications. There is no need to panic.
Meanwhile it is also advisable that you get you BP checked up and do some blood investigations like hemoglobin levels and electrolyte levels.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
