My experience-Can someone help me figure out what's going on with these strange recurring headaches?
Maybe someone in here will have had a similar experience or maybe knows a thing or two and can help me figure out how I position this to my doctor as they want to rule it as panic attacks.
Every year for the past 4 years I've had 1 or 2 isolated headaches that are completely debilitating. I can typically tell I'm about to have a bad time as these symptoms begin to manifest themselves as a kind of internal feeling of generally being unwell about 1-2 hours before the headache happens. I feel tired, concerned, and get bad tunnel vision and become hyperaware of everything.
Pressure builds up in my head over time on the left-side, especially near the back of my head. At some point I know that I'm about to have a hellish time and I get a sudden EXTREME headache for a few seconds. However, the headache itself is very odd feeling. The only way I can describe it is like the sensation that a bubble of extreme pain is moving from underneath my tongue, through my sinuses, up the back of my head where it settles in the middle of my head and builds up in pain until it pops, then I have this dull aching feeling where it happened.
It's a feeling that there was something physically in my head, and it leaves an impression that something is missing in my head with this dull feeling of emptiness. I know it sounds very odd and makes me sound insane, which is why I have such a hard time trying to think about how I can position this to a doctor without them thinking I'm insane.
For several hours to days after the headache, I feel extremely unwell. Tired, aching, depressed, and I usually get bad post-nasal drip as well. It's like all this pressure built up in my sinuses and just decided in an instant to try and make my head explode. The scariest thing is that it usually happens when I'm driving. I've also noticed it typically happens in bad weather. I don't know why, but stormy weather gives me strange head pressure and bad sensations like this.
I just hope someone can help give me any kind of answer as all number of garbage is going through my head about what this could be and how I'm not going to be able to convince my doctor to take me seriously. It throws me off and ruins my life for a long period every time this happens.
Edit: I should also note that I experience dizziness and vertigo as well around the times where this happens, which is also unsettling.
