Q. Does tension-type headache cause pressure while standing?
Hello doctor,
I have had a tension headache for a full day. When I lay down I can hear my heartbeat in my ears. Almost like my hearing is pulsating. I do have pressure in my head. Is this normal? I feel pressure in my head when I stand and I am suffering from migraine. Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
