Constant Throbbing In My Head
<div class="IPBDescription">what could it be?</div> Anyone here ever feel as if there is a thick rubber band tightly stretched around your head, so that it makes things hard to concentrate on? As if there is a lead brick inside your skull? And that it has been going persistently for weeks?
Edit:
I really don't want to see a doctor, but if it persists for another week then I might as well. The reason why I don't want to see my doctor is 1) the last time I checked up with him about my depression, he told me that a phone call would be directed to me the next morning. I never got the phone call. Then I asked the secretary, and she says that a referral was sent. Seeing how around these parts healthcare moves at a slow pace, I have never received any information about my psychiatrist checkup for several months. 2) I just moved, and this makes my healthcare insurance invalid in the region that I live.
I just hope someone here has any information, or if anyone is suffering this at the moment, to leak some information from their own experience. I have looked on google, but would rather hear from someone at the present being.
Like I said, I can't concentrate worth a damn. I have several interests such as reading philosophy and drawing, but it makes it that much harder having this.
Hopefully that will clear some things up. My bad.

Lie down, close your eyes, rest. Don't watch TV, don't play on your consoles. Problem solved.
Chronic migraine?
...
A scanner probing your mind?

a dull throbbing pressure or ache is often a sign of SOMETHING that is not good, it could be anything from lack of sleep to a tumor, i hate to say it but it really could be something really bad, and the sooner you go see a doctoer the better.
For some reason everything has turned tables on me. I have a history of anxiety, or otherwise known as anxiety attacks. I have also had a history of insomnia and obsessive compulsion over certain things. For example, my favorites folder use to contain over five hundred words. I constantly think of the trivial things. Anyways, that isn't really the case here because the reason why my constant throbbing seams to appear is only credited to whenever I try to concentrate. But even then, if you were to rate this on such a scale from one to ten, you would have me sitting around four or five when I am relaxed, or whenever I play video games. Along those lines, the throbbing becomes a constant hum, like a tingling sensation that sometimes sparks up and flares to a fisherman's sinker; nothing as in comparison when my moods sift from the morning to the evening of almost indescribable restlessness. I really don't know what is wrong with me. Perhaps, going to the doctor is plausible; not though in this situation as you see, me living in a different part of the country.
NeonSpyder, I have never really heard of headaches being relative to brain tumors. Thanks anyway.
If anything, it is all appreciated; even in this not-so-serious forum. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Really though, go see a doctor.
I take it you live in America? How does health care work out over there? Over here in Blighty, I can go to Open Surgery at the GP and see a doc on certain mornings, or get an emergency appointment if it's really bad; there's always the Emergency and Accidents at the local hospital if I'm utterly desperate (I would have to be utterly desperate to resort to that). If this has carried on for a while, you need to sort it out ASAP.
What the hell is that :|
Are you de-hydrated most of the time?
Are you eating enough?
On a lighter side,

but really, I often get nasty headaches, and I believe it's mainly because of my diet... I often don't eat well, but feel much better when I do...
that's the best input I have... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Might also try to take many deep breaths. We only use about 1/3 of our lungs whenever we breath. Our brain especially needs this oxygen and when you don't have enough you tend to get horrible migrains. Try taking deep breaths like a baby would. Make sure to push our your stomach instead of raising your chest. Just do many slow breaths like that and see if that works.
Often you tense the muscles in your scalp due to stress subconsciously. When you finally do relax the increased bloodflow to your scalp causes a sharp pain that would feel similar to what you are experiencing.
Or it could be a simple as bad posture which causes a tension in the back of your neck pinching a nerve that your body interprets as a throbbing headache rather than a pain in the neck.
All are quite common. I would suggest that you go to a chiropractor and if that does not help go see a doctor.
But if there is something physically wrong... treating the symptoms isn't the way to go.
