Sensation of ferhead pressure or "buzz"

Tue, 04/17/2007 - 18:19
Hi I am an epilepsy patient and have experienced a "brain buzz" as part of my problem, for years. It's changed, though, and become stronger and more persistent as I approach 40. Does anyone else have a NON painful "brain buzz" in which you have an actual sesation of pressure or headache (without the ache part) on your forehead? Thanks, Lil

I haven't been diagnosed as of yet, but I do experience an intense pressure in my entire head. It feels like it should hurt (but it doesn't) & like my head is going to implode. It last for about 10 minutes (which is also how long my other episodes last) Is this what yours feels like?

Actually I get those too. Have for years, only now they are one of my "auras" before a possible seizure. To me they are different now than the "buzz" I used to get when younger. Now if feels like spiders crawling on my brain and then sliding down (gross I know *laugh*)
