Go to doc? Which doc...uggghhh
So I've had a pressure in my head for like 1.5 weeks now. Today I'm feeling nauseaous with every breath I take.
The pressure is not a full blown headach-just that--a pressure. My BP is 130/90-My hematologist wasnt overly concerned with the BP. I dont see my Rheumatologist (Lupus & Fibromyalgia) until end of month. Not even sure if its him I should go to. Or is it more a primary doctor issue. So confused which doctor if any I should visit.

I would go to your PCP but you might need to go to an ENT. Sounds like it might be your sinuses. The pollen right now is very high (I get emails with the levels and I think they are around 11 out of 12 or something like that right now). Does it get any better if you take a long hot shower with lots of steam or eat really spicy foods?

personally your bp is borderline and what worries me is the nausea with the pressure.
i would cal your primary and explain to nurse and ask for help asap just to make sure its nothing dangerous. then your gp can tell you where to go

Re: Go to doc? Which doc...uggghhh
Thanks for the replies. I called my primary and Rheumatologist. I go to the primary tomorrow and have to follow up up with the Rheumatologist as well.
I did my BP at the machine at Rite Aid when I went to pick up my prescription and my BP was 123/70 (good) BUT my pulse was 109. I suffer from severe anemia and just had a long period so Im wondering if it was enough to make my levels dip too low since meeting with my Hematologist.Thank goodness I go first thing tomorrow. Im stressed as it is.

if it's sinus pressure (Which is what it sounds like) it can cause the nausea from a drip going down your throat.
I'm suffering from the same right now and still trying to find allergy meds that will help without making me a zombie!

I actually just finished an MRI-doc is checking for Vasculitis??? so no sinus pressure for me but something else. Hoping to find closure.
