Im a 28/female. I have not had any recent trauma to my head or anything. Okay here goes. About a month and ahalf ago I started getting headaches. It would start with the very top of my neck (where it meets my head) hurting and feeling stiff and sometimes when i turn my head its almost like i can hear the muscles in my neck moving or somethign sometimes making cracking noise. and there was also pain in my head , mostly on top of my head but sometimes on the sides as wll. Also there is a pressure feeling on top of my head off and on. I dealt with this for about a week and finally i went and saw my doctor and a nueorologist. They did ct scans and mri's and blood work. Everything lookes fine. My mri that i had done showed a enlarged vein in my brain (which i already knew about) they call it a developmental venous enomoly. They said i was born with it and that the risk of anything happening to it are very small and surgery poses more of a risk then not having it fixed. Anyway Im still having headaches almost every single day, here are my symptoms: Feeling once in a while of my neck beeing stiff, discomfort in my jaw when i try to open it all the way, sharp pains once in awhile on the side of my head, and everytime i have this headache i feel a pressure feeling in my head mostly on the top, when i stand sometimes it feel like my head is filling up with air kinda like a balloon and sometimes at the exact same time this happens my chest feels the same exact way. Im tired alot. I have dark circles under my eyes. sometimes my vision goes alittle funny but i just got eye glasses so hopefully that will help, and when i cough or sneeze or strain myself i get the fullness feeling in my head. Does anyone else feel this? This is driving me crazy because i dont know whats wrong and i feel like my docs are getting tired of me complaining. Id love to talk with anyone with input, advice or similar feelings and what they were diagnosed with. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
