Why does my head feel like it wants to explode when I bend over?

Answer 1

You most probably have a sinus infection. Do you have green mucus?
There are some over the counter meds that can help such as tylenol and sudafed but you may need antibiotics so see your doctor if it continues.

Answer 2

Pressure - one could be high blood pressure especially if you get dizzy or light headed when you stand up.
The second main reason is sinus pressure - the simple way to tell is if you eat a little horseradish on a cracker and it lightens up it is at least part of the problem.

Infection that was mentioned IS possible.


Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. Press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.
