Hi all. I've always had pressure in my head before and after a seizure. Like it starts in the front and spreads to the back, and then I go into a daze. But recently I've been having this somewhat more painful pressure in a small area. The area is usually about the size of a fingertip and it is usually behind either of my ears and about 1 inch up and it lasts about a minute. Anyone know what this is? Thanks.
 
Have you had a recent MRI or CT scan? this could help explain it.

It could also be water retention. (can you feel it in your ears and nose too?) or more like someone sqeezing your head?

After a complex partial, i get a short, sharp pain above my right eyebrow, but nto sure what that is. (by scarring is on the right front part of my brain, behind my right eye.)
 
I got that sort of headache in the first few months I was on Lamictal. Has there been any change in your routine that might account for it? Change in weather, lighting, diet, hydration -- sometimes it's some small detail that can account for a new side effect or symptom.
