Hello, this is my first time posting, but I have been suffering from daily constant head pressure & lightheadedness now for 9 months. I am 20 and unable to work or go to school. When I exercise and move around too much (like taking walks) my head pressure becomes painful and turns into a full fledged head ache. My neuro put me on 10 mg. of nortryptline and my endo has me on levoxyl for a thyroid problem. The combined result has given me 50% relief in the past 4 months...but thats not enough. So i saw a headache specialist who prescribed Bellergal. I am extrememly sensitive to meds. So I am worried about how I am going to react to this. She told me that I mainly suffered from muscle contraction headache but seemed to get migraines too...how will this help with the tension if it constricts blood vessels..I thought that muscle contractions needed heat and increased blood flow. I am sooooo confused. Please Help!! -Angela
