What Causes Tingling And Pressure In Brain And Stiffness In Neck?

Hello, I was laying down a while ago and all of a sudden I got a tingling sensation in the top of my head-- like something was crawling on the inside of my head. Afterwards I got the chills, and now the top of my head feels like it s under pressure and slightly cold.I had a CT scan done yesterday and results were normal. My neck was incredibly stiff today as well.Should I be concerned?

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of tension type headache, which is a benign type of headache. As your CT scan resulted normal, there is no reason to panic. I would just recommend having some rest and taking ibuprofen for the pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
