#not to mention how uncomfortable it is to be able to feel my vertebrae grinding against each other

[k00ldino]

it is so fucking frustrating to feel so helpless because of an injury that could leave you paralyzed and not being able to get a dr appointment for it. i’ve been trying for MONTHS to get some sort of treatment and it’s like they’re running a circus at the hospitals here. one hospital wouldn’t even respond to us after trying to schedule an appointment for a month, the other wouldn’t take our insurance, and this one is taking their sweet old time getting me referred. what makes it even worse is knowing that i could be “cured” with surgery but it seems like no doctor fucking cares. i’m tired and scared

The New Toy: Part 6

If Missy can’t find a suitable companion, she will make one.

Summary: Missy devises a more permanent solution now that the shock collar is out of service.

Whumptober Theme: No. 6 ‖ Please... ‖ “Get it out.”

Word Count: 1176

Warnings: Kidnapping. Medical torture. Blood. Surgery without anaesthetic. Dark!Missy. MIHOW.

NB: Ohohoh... this one ended up being far too long. Have I mentioned that I have more than a passing interest in medical torture? Also, I shamelessly threw in a quote from series two of Buffy that I thought was very Missy-esque. Full marks to anyone who spots it.

You think it might be better if you could see her.

Lying like this - face down on a bed in the medical bay, immobilised with broad, transparent straps across your waist and legs and shoulders - her every movement is a mystery. The click of her heels on the tiles, the clatter of steel instruments, the hiss and hum of the TARDIS are all tortures in and of themselves.

Even she could dream up no torment greater than that of not knowing.

“Is that what you think?”

Missy chuckles when you jerk in your restraints, trying to turn and look at her over your shoulder but not able to. The right side of your face is pressed into hospital-crisp linens.

“Your mind is deafening, poppet. Don’t look so surprised.”

Wheels against the ground, rolling like thunder. A surgical trolley rattles into view and, with it, her, imperious in violet, sleeves rolled up and cuffed at her elbows. She smiles her carnivore’s smile.

“You know, if you were so desperate to take off the collar, you could have just asked.” Her fingertips ghost over your jaw and you whimper. The touch is faint, ticklish, as intimate as that of a lover. “We could have done this days ago. I’d have made it painless.” A pause. She purses her lips. “Well, relatively.”

“I’m sorry, Missy.” Your voice trembles. “I didn’t mean to-”

“Shh, shh,” she covers your lips with her index finger. “Mummy’s talking now. Be a good little companion, and listen.”

Wide-eyed, you fall silent.

“I want you to remember,” she continues, saccharine sweet, “that this didn’t have to hurt so much. It was always going to happen. You just made it worse for yourself. You understand?”

She moves her hand and taps your chin. You can’t muster enough breath to respond. Instead, you nod as best you can.

“That’s a good girl. Would you like to see what I have for you?” She quirks an eyebrow, sadistic pleasure sharp behind the curve of her smile. “Or would you rather it was a surprise?”

A test of your resolve, then.

“Can I see?” So pitifully meek, your own voice is a shame to you. You cling to the hope that she might show mercy to a well-behaved pet. “Please, Mistress.”

With an odd sort of tenderness she answers, “of course, dear.”

From the tray at her side she produces a Petri dish. Inside it, something small and black rattles against the glass.

“Much more discrete, don’t you think?” She shows it to you, turning the dish so that you can get a sense of the dimensions. It’s the size and shape of a pill capsule. You can just make out the microscopic circuitry inside. “More sophisticated, too. It can track your location and administer... corrective doses of electricity,” she chuckles quietly to herself. “But it will also give me a direct feed into your central nervous system.”

Clenching your useless hands where the straps keep them pressed tight to your sides, you whisper, “that sounds very clever, Mistress.”

Her eyes light up. “And you are very welcome, poppet.” She taps the tip of your nose with her index finger. “I’ll have access to so much data, I’ll barely need you to speak at all. I could cut your tongue out and it wouldn’t matter.” Your sharp intake of breath makes her smile crinkle at the corners. “But then you wouldn’t be able to say such nice things about me.” As if in reward she tickles the underside of your jaw with her fingernails and your neck twitches.

Eager to keep her talking, you ask softly, “how does it work?”

“Oh, that’s the best part!” She shivers with glee. “I know the collar was inconvenient, but this won’t be such a temptation for you to fiddle with. Once it’s in, you’ll hardly even notice that it’s there.”

“Once- once it’s in?”

“Of course.” She tidies your hair out of the way with astonishing gentleness and draws her fingertip across the back of your neck. “Just here, between these vertebrae. That way it can latch right onto your spinal cord.”

With that, she’s moving; the gleaming steel trolley stops at the end of the bed and she takes a seat behind you. You can feel her closeness, her shadow across your shoulders.

“Missy-”

You cut off with a whine at the snapping sound of latex and then a gloved hand rests on your neck, thumb pulling the skin taut against your spine. She wipes something over the back of your neck, cold and stinging, like antiseptic. It makes your skin prickle. Gasping, you twist under her hand.

“Settle down, now,” she warns, not unkindly. “This is going to sting a wee bit, but that should ease off, once the searing pain kicks in.”

“Please, Missy.” You already know it’s futile but the instinct to beg is insurmountable. “Please, I’ll be good, I’ll do whatever you say, just please don’t-”

“Now, what did I say?” Her fingers dig into your neck until it aches. “I’m not just doing this because I’m cross with you. It’s for your own good. What kind of Mistress would I be if I didn’t get my pet microchipped, hmm?” She loosens her grip again. “If you hadn’t tried to run off I would have given you something for the pain. You’re the one who turned it into a punishment.”

“I’m sorry.” You squeeze your eyes shut, feeling traitorous tears creep along your nose and towards the bed. “I’m sorry, Mistress.”

“I know you are, dear.” The faintest bite of something sharp on the nape of your neck makes you twitch and sob. “Ready?”

“No!” Breath quickening, you try to struggle again, but there’s nowhere, nothing, not an inch of slack. You can’t even turn your head. “Please, please, Mistress, don’t do it, please-”

Shushing you, she presses the scalpel in and drags it down an inch. Skin and flesh parts in its wake with pain like liquid fire. You clench your teeth so hard that your jaw grinds in protest and howl, straining at your restraints. Hot rivulets of blood trail down your neck.

“I know, I know,” she soothes. “Sometimes I forget just how much blood you have in these bodies. I can’t see a thing.”

Soft gauze clears the blood from your skin, irritating the blazing wound as it passes over it. Your mouth falls open and you gasp great, sobbing breaths.

“There we are. Much better.” She leans closer, her voice low and conspiratorial. “Now, we need to pop this in quite deep so that the nanotech can do its job, and that might be a teensy bit uncomfortable for you. You can scream as much as you like, but please do try not to bite your tongue off, alright?”

Sharp metal digs into the cut and pulls, separating the edges, spreading it wider to allow passage for the implant. She speaks over your cries.

“If you’re a very good little puppy, you can have a treat once we’re finished.”

ＡＬＩＡＳ: AGENT 11 ＣＩＶＩＬＩＡＮ ＮＡＭＥ: VIVIAN HAYES ＢＩＲＴＨＰＬＡＣＥ: DUBLIN, IRELAND   Ｄ．Ｏ．Ｂ ／ ＡＧＥ: AUGUST 29TH, 1977  / FORTY

❝ All you ever needed was a camera and microphone, from the plastic toys to the real deal. Your family forced to watch through horrendous clips and attempts to movies but you were only a child and it took you awhile to grow into your abilities. Once you knew your audience, how to work your multiple cameras and the editing programs, you were unstoppable. Life didn’t exist if it wasn’t through a lens and people weren’t worth talking to unless they agreed to participate in your many antics. None of it was ever in vain and eventually those who had doubted you could see you on their TV screens, travelling the world and interviewing anyone who crossed your path. You became known for your fierce style and skills to coax anything out of anyone, so full of potential and ego that you couldn’t have predicted your own downfall. You might have been able to always find the truth but the truth isn’t always pretty, is it? Drug cartels don’t take exposure lightly and all it took was one little secret for your entire life to implode. But much like a phoenix, you were given the chance to rise from the ashes. You’ve been able to relight the fire, now it’s time to decide whether to keep it burning or snuff it out. ❞ 

ＳＰＥＣＩＡＬＩＴＹ: INTERROGATION

↳  Research, languages.

ＧＥＮＤＥＲ: FEMALE (SHE/HER)

THIS CHARACTER IS CURRENTLY CLOSED AND IS PORTRAYED BY JESSICA CHASTAIN.

Tell us a bit about your past. Do you have a family? Where did you grow up?

The question irritates her. It’s far too broad, but she knows it’s necessary. It’s not the agent’s fault. They were probably given a list of necessary questions, but Vivian can’t help the way the irritation coils around the base of her spine and climbs up vertebrae by vertebrae. It’s not how she would conduct an interview, or was this a psych eval. She had already forgotten. She plasters a smile, the illusion of happiness puts people at ease more readily than the constant scowl that feels natural to her. It’s the only reason she’s survived all these years – adaptable. Tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear, she shrugs with a small laugh. It sounds hollow in the stark white room, but she pushes it aside. “Don’t we all have a family, regardless of how we feel about them.” Her jaw tightens ever so slightly at the mention of them. Because she does have a family, yes, but she hasn’t seen them in years. Not since the entire fucking cartel debacle and joining UMBRA. It was better this way – or that’s the lie she tells herself over and over until she believes it. It was her own doing. Better to leave her family out of her antics, it would only end up getting them hurt. “If you can’t tell by the accent or the file in front of you, we have a problem.” Her smile grows at her own sarcasm. Maybe it would tack down some extra points to keep a closer eye on her, but every agent had their own way to cope – this was hers. “Dublin, Ireland.” Memories of her childhood rush through her head. Day trips to the countryside just a few hours outside Dublin. Her mother and father both in tow, one holding a cooler filled with food and the other a blanket comically large. Not every memory was so shiny and bright, but her parents did their best. They made her feel loved – always encouraged her to follow her dreams. Every pay check a little money put aside to buy Vivian the latest gadget. They spent hours sprawled on the carpet in front of the TV watching various ‘movies’ Viv had put together. None of it was good, but it was a beginning – the foundation to the rest of her life. Pulling herself out of her memories, she shifts slightly in her chair. “I was a happy kid. I had far too much time on my hands with a wild imagination. Imagine the type of trouble a girl like me could get up to in beautiful Ireland.” Leaning forward with a wistful smile now adorning her features, she whispered. “Then double it. My family never asked me to tone it down and they got left with this.”

What were you doing in your life before UMBRA reached out to you?

The nicotine craving hits her like a freight train. She knows she can’t ask for a break – a pack of cigarettes lays tauntingly on the table. She could ask, they were probably left there so that anyone being questioned would. But a part of her doesn’t want to give into temptation. It’s a game Vivian plays with herself – hold out as long as she can. Licking her lips, she forces herself to look away from the pack and back to the interrogator. “A little of this and that. Mostly trying to stay alive.” A bitter laugh escapes her lips as she leans back in the uncomfortable chair. She stops herself from shifting. She knows the game. It’s usually her on the other side of the table – packet of cigarettes, the promises of a sugary cold soda, and a little rest if her subject would just answer a few more questions. She doubts if anything UMBRA does isn’t designed perfectly to try and manipulate its agents – especially after what happened to the Vice-Director. “A drug cartel doesn’t take kindly to being exposed. Who knew?” Another bitter laugh, this one hurting her own ears. It’s been years and still the thought makes her blood boil. What the fuck had she been thinking? “I knew, I just didn’t care.” She rubs at her jaw; it’s begun to ache something fierce. The pain akin to the months after her last big news piece and how when she slept, she only woke to find she had been grinding her teeth the whole time. “Honestly, I was trying to piece my life back together. In the end, it didn’t seem like it amounted to much to anyone but me.” The story, the lie, the secret. The irritation encompasses the base of her spine again and she’s afraid, just for a moment, that it might never leave. The months after her story ran made up entirely of complete paranoia. How Vivian managed to survive made absolutely no sense. She knew that cartels killed for far less than she did. A part of her knew she was only alive because of the affair with her – one of the cartel higher ups. It hadn’t been on purpose – another lie Viv forced herself to believe. It was easier to believe that they had tumbled into bed in a completely innocent sort of way – that her idea for her next big exposé came from pillow talk. But that was bullshit. Everything Viv did was calculated, even who she fucked. Finally giving in, she shifts in the metal chair – the legs loudly scraping across the tile. “I was…” Her voice trails off as her eyes hit the cigarettes again. “Paranoid. I saw danger lurking behind every corner. I wasn’t sure who to trust, so in all honesty, ma’am, I was merely surviving. It wasn’t much of an existence.”

What was the worst phase in your life? And if you were able to change the past, would you?

Vivian stops herself from slamming a fist on the table. The questions are annoying her now. She believes it’s absolutely by design and maybe this senior agent isn’t just the person who picked the short straw. They’re probably just as complicit as whoever designed the questions. Logically, she knows her anger isn’t towards the questions or the proctor. Not really. It’s at herself for her past. Years and the rage still burns bright inside of her. “My last story.” The words come out soft, but she has no doubt the other agent hears her perfectly. She knows they won’t ask her to speak up and risk ruining this perfectly orchestrated moment. The game she’s been playing with herself ends. It makes no difference how long she holds out. In the end, she was never going to win this evaluation. “Can I have one of those?” Her eyes burn a hole into the cigarettes and she feels the coil loosen slightly as the agent slides them towards her, lighter in tow. Fingers shaking slightly, she lights a cigarette and holds the smoke inside her lungs until it starts to burn. The need for oxygen too great and she exhales towards the ceiling. “Maybe you saw it. I exposed a drug cartel. I got my own 20/20 special. Can you fucking believe that?” This time, the laughter than bubbles up is genuine. The memory of that phone call still one of the better things that’s every happened in her life. Vivian never cared much for fame. It was all about the story. She wanted to know what made the world tick, what made people tick. She traveled the world with a video camera. Her crew always small because too many people could ruin something. Which looking back was hilarious because all it took was one person – herself. “I was on top of the world. I was going to make a difference. I knew it wouldn’t shut down right away, but it was a beginning. The cartel would have to be more careful, maybe even go underground. I was naive.” She shifts again in the chair followed by another deep drag. The nicotine hit her system twenty seconds after the first inhale, but her fingers only begin to steady now. “I fucked up along the way. I made… some mistakes.” Her statement was putting it mildly. Vivian’s honestly amazed she’s even alive. Maybe it was due in part to UMBRA. She had a rising suspicion that the organization had a hand in her still walking in the earth. Purely for selfish reasons, she didn’t believe UMBRA had truly altruistic reasons for anything they did. Fucking Ariana had been the biggest mistake Vivian had ever made in her forty years of life. But it was easier to tell people it was the drug cartel story. Not that the follow up to running that story had been her own personal fall from grace. She compromised her ethics to get a story. She had slept with the enemy and liked it – almost loved it on the days when she felt like being brutally honest with herself. It was dangerous, Viv knew that from the get go. It somehow only made the story even better. The insect part of her brain knew that it would backfire – that fucking her source would blow up in her face. And yet, she never stopped it. Not even while she sat in her dimly lit hotel room editing together footage. She didn’t even want to stop when the story was shopped around. It only stopped because Ariana pressed a gun to the base of her skull and yelled at her to get the fuck out and never show her face again or it would be the last time Vivian ever did anything.

Her chest tightens at the last memory. Her eyes burning as she takes another drag from the cigarette. If anyone asks, she’d blame the smoke. Swallowing down the lump in her throat, she ashes the cigarette into a tray. “No. I wouldn’t change it. It was a learning experience.” Another lie, but it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the smoke filling her lungs and the promise of alcohol when this entire fucking interview was over.

Do you perceive your work here with us important? if so, explain why. if not, explain why.

“Yes. If I didn’t find something important, I wouldn’t do it.” It is the most honest thing to come out of her mouth in the entire afternoon. Not that anything has been a lie. The cigarette is half gone now – tendrils of smoke escaping from her fingers. Vivian has never been one to waste her time. Even this evaluation is necessary, no matter how tiresome she finds it. The idea of answering just a few more questions and then she’ll be free is all that keeps her going. “I admire the fact that everything is shrouded in secrecy. UMBRA doesn’t ask for credit and doesn’t take credit. We just… do things. Things the public doesn’t want to know, but they would be helpless without us.” Her ego takes over as she answers. When she first arrived, Vivian only cared about her survival. It’s still a matter of that. She’s not sure that even UMBRA can protect her from what awaits her outside these walls. But for now, it’s a distant memory that doesn’t have to be dealt with. At least not yet. She has time and for someone who always figuring they were living on borrowed time, it’s a blessing in disguise. A part of her wants to investigate this organization. It’s just what Vivian does. She finds something interesting and finds out what makes it tick. The image of the Vice-Director shot flashes through her mind. It’s better to keep her head down for the time being. No need to put her life at risk for something so soon. “I think every agent plays an important part in this agency. We couldn’t thrive without the other. If you didn’t have me, you wouldn’t get all the answers. But I wouldn’t be able to provide them if someone didn’t bring me a person to interrogate. I have a big ego, but I can recognize that UMBRA is a well oiled machine. Without each part, it would collapse.” She snubs out the cigarette and leans back in the chair. It pokes at her spine and she wants to scream. Her answer is honest. Every time someone answers her truthfully, she feels accomplished. It’s almost the same feeling she got when editing together a particularly delicious video clip. Almost. She gets to rely on her instincts again and gets praised for her work. It’s better than skulking in the shadows waiting for death to arrive.

Is there anything that you believe we can do differently and why?

Vivian shrugs. Her patience is wearing thin. Not that it had ever been great to begin with. It still feels unnatural that she’s on the other side of the table. Fielding questions was never her forte. She preferred being behind the lens, or in this case, behind the clipboard. “What do I know? I’m only an interrogator. I’m sure things can be done differently or we wouldn’t be having this sit down, right?” She scrapes the chair loudly against the floor. The petty part of her hopes that it leaves scratches. A small reminder that she was in this room and annoyed. She leans her elbows on the table – something her mother would slap her for – and smirks. “You can tell the boss if they want me to do a little investigating, I can put something together. Maybe tell you guys where you need improvement. The best part would be, no one would even know what I was doing. Except us.” She gestures a little wildly between her and the interrogator. She can’t help herself. She doubts anything will come of her offer, but at least it’s floated.

What is the one thing that you will never do, or at least, will refuse to do?

Weariness is setting in. Enough to make her shift in her chair once again. It’s uncomfortable to the point of frustration. All she wants to do is slam her fists on the table and scream. It wouldn’t do much for the psych eval, but it would relieve whatever’s been coiling around the base of her spine. At this point, she’s not sure if it’s irritation or something else entirely. What she does know is that getting out of this room would release some of the pressure. Her eyes glance at the pack of cigarettes and she toys with the idea of lighting another as she ponders the question. There’s a lot of things Vivian wouldn’t do, but when it comes to UMBRA she’s not entirely sure. Not right off the bat. Interrogation doesn’t get her outside these four walls very often.

Tapping her fingers against the metal table, she offers a shrug. “Murder. Or killing. I’d really prefer not to dabble into that sort of thing. I’ve seen the worst of humanity, but I’m not ready to dip my toes in that water.” A cold stab of dread hits her right in her belly and she feels dizzy. She briefly wonders if the cigarettes are laced with something. She wouldn’t put it past UMBRA to try and dose someone during an interrogation. In fact, it would be brilliant. She had asked for one, it had never been offered. She realizes that maybe that answer isn’t entirely true. She’s not necessarily cold-blooded, but she’ll do anything to survive. The last few months have proved that. Dropping her hands to her lap, she absentmindedly pushes against her knuckles. Knuckles that are still bruised from her last interrogation. UMBRA isn’t like the outside. Answers aren’t only provided with a clever tongue and well timed questions. Inside these four walls, Vivian uses whatever means necessary to extract information. Torture is never conducive to producing real results, but she’s found a few hits here and there loosen the tongue rather nicely. Worst of all, she likes it.

Last but not least, who do you think killed the Vice-Director?

Last but not least. Sweet release is right around the corner. It’s the only thing Vivian can focus on. Her back now sore from the stiff, unrelenting chair. The question makes sense given the circumstances, but still throws her off-guard. She understands that was probably the point. Ask a big question and see how the person reacts. Shifty eyes and perspiration on their forehead and digging a little deeper might be the right course of action. Grabbing the lighter and cigarettes, Vivian pushes herself up from the seat and the table. Her body screams in pain for just a second before she catches herself. “How the hell should I know? He wasn’t the primary target, so I’d look for anyone who had a real beef with the director.” She rams the items into her pockets as she takes a few steps towards the door. The interrogator hasn’t moved from their position and that seems like a good thing. She hopes there isn’t some sort of guard outside the door who will stop her and haul her back into the uncomfortable chair.

Hand outstretched for the doorknob, she turns in her heels and studies the older agent. “You’d be better suited for some sort of position. Interrogation isn’t your strong suit. No offense.” The words drip from her mouth from honey. She knows she should have just kept walking. But it’s just not how Vivian operates. She can’t help herself from a little bit of needling – a way to assert her dominance short of pissing all over the room like a dog. Smile plastered on her lips, she pushes the door open and heads into the hallway. No guard. Maybe someone would reprimand her later, but she doesn’t care. All that matters is that the interview is over and she doesn’t have to think anymore. At least for a little while.

Headache On Top Of The Head – possible causes & solutions

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

The human brain is an incredibly complex organ, which means that discomfort in this area of your body can be difficult to understand.

There are many different parts of the brain, so there are many different types of headaches too, which could be a response to a number of internal or external factors.

These different types of responses can occur in different parts of the cranium itself, but one of the most common is a headache on top of the head.

This kind can feel like a massive weight pushing down on your crown, and we all know that a headache on top of your head isn’t a fun sensation at all.

To get a better understanding of a headache on top of the head, here’s an explanation and of the causes and how to treat it.

What Can Cause A Headache On Top Of My Head?

As mentioned above, there are many different reasons, physical and environmental that can fall under the title causes of headache on top of head.

There are also a number of medical conditions and environmental triggers that can lead to a headache on top of the head.

Here are some of the most common kinds of soreness that can be felt in this area:

Tension

This kind of pain is one of the most common and can feel like constant pressure or aching, or like the muscles around your head are pulling into a tight band.

You might also feel associated discomfort in your neck, the back of your head, and in your temples. It doesn’t throb and doesn’t feel as intense as a migraine though.

Tension headaches usually result from stress and tightness in certain muscle groups, namely the suboccipital muscles and the splenius cervicis and splenius capitis muscles. As muscles don’t work in isolation, pain is usually the result of multiple muscles tensing up.

Here is a brief explanation below:

The suboccipital muscles are connected to the first and second vertebrae and can become tense due to grinding your teeth, straining your eyes or by having poor posture

The splenius cervicis and splenius capitis muscles in your neck can also become stiff, causing tension in this region

Migraines

If you’re a migraine sufferer, you’ll already know that as opposed to the average headache on top of the head, migraines can be defined as a throbbing headache on top of the head, and can be felt on either side of your face too.

Migraines can also fall under the categories of a headache on top right side of the head, or a headache on top left side of the head.

They also come with a number of other symptoms, like nausea, cold hands, seeing auras and being very sensitive to sound and light. So much so that you’ll usually feel the need to be in a dark and quiet room.

In short, a migraine differs in terms of severity and accompanying symptoms.

Physical exhaustion

This kind of pain, as the name suggests, comes from not getting enough rest, and can feel like a dull ache or pressure. This can happen from lack of sleep, as well as from intense bursts of exercise that your brain might not be prepared for.

When it comes to sleeping, your posture is also very important. This is because poor sleeping posture can also lead to a hypnic headache on top of the head, which comes from the spinal position being compromised.

Cold-stimulation

Otherwise known as a brain freeze. This kind of discomfort usually only lasts a few seconds but can be a very uncomfortable headache on top of the head.

Sinuses

Blocked sinuses can also trigger tension which leads to painful symptoms. This is due to inflammation which can be easily treated by medication or relieving the sinus blockage in non-harmful ways.

Occipital Neuralgia

This kind of pain occurs when the occipital nerve is compressed, damaged or irritated. This nerve runs from your spine to your scalp.

When this nerve is compromised, you will feel it in the back of your skull as well as that tight band feeling.

Other symptoms like waves of electric shock pain and a dull aching can also be felt, which can all worsen when you start moving around.

Medical emergencies

Although rare, certain kinds of soreness in the cranial area are very serious and might require a trip to the emergency room.

Just two of the most intense of these are:

1. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCV’s)

This kind of headache on top of the head occurs when blood vessels in the brain become constricted, which results in an intense form of pain called a thunderclap.

In severe cases, this can lead to strokes or bleeding in the brain, as well as intense weakness, seizures, and blurry vision.

2. Hypertension pain

This results from pressure building up in the cranium due to high blood pressure, which leads to a distinctive pulling feeling at the top of your head.

Other symptoms include noises, intense agony, disorientation, short breathing, and unclear vision.

How Do You Treat A Headache On Top Of The Head?

Apart from just taking medication, there are many ways of treating a headache on top of the head.

Some of the most popular ways include:

Over the counter (OTC) medication

For tension pain and migraines, it’s possible to get quick relief with medication from your pharmacy. Be aware of combining different kinds of medication though, as it could lead to an overdose or other side effects.

Be aware that taking too much medication could even lead to another headache!

Awareness of muscle tension

If it is muscle tightness that is causing you a headache on top of the head, getting enough rest, reducing your stress levels and maintaining good posture can all help. This applies both to when you’re awake and when you’re asleep.

If you spend most of your day sitting behind a desk, an ergonomic chair can be very helpful. As is seeking treatment from a practitioner like a chiropractor, massage therapist or acupuncturist.

Overall relaxation and stress-relief strategies like breathing exercises, yoga and meditation could also be beneficial in relieving hurt associated with stress and tension.

Lifestyle choices

While some soreness can be due to factors outside of our control, it can also be a sign that you’re not in optimum health.

Taking measures to improve your overall wellbeing can definitely help to relieve tension, especially if it becomes a chronic condition.

It’s worth consulting a doctor if you continue to suffer terribly, as they will be able to provide a comprehensive treatment plan. This may include medication and making some lifestyle changes, which could include your diet.

Self-care

If your discomfort is due to muscle tension, you can consult a variety of resources online and do a self-massage. This involves releasing tension in your neck and shoulder region with your hands.

You could even include some natural remedies too. This can go a long way to relieving chronic malaise when seeing a medical professional isn’t absolutely necessary.

Regular healthcare checkups

If you have any kind of hereditary predisposition that might compromise your cardiovascular functioning, it’s best to go for regular check-ups with a medical professional to avoid any kind of complications.

If you take the necessary steps to ensure optimum health, there is no reason why you should suffer from any kind of unexplained agony.

What To Do In An Emergency

As we mentioned above, there are certain kinds of pain that you don’t want to leave untreated.

If you feel any of the symptoms below, it’s important to consult a doctor immediately:

changing patterns of discomfort and things getting worse

pain that stops you from doing normal daily activities

pain that doesn’t go away with medication

On the other hand, if you feel any of the following symptoms, be sure to head to the emergency room immediately:

debilitating discomfort

confusion to the point where you don’t know what’s going on

loss of motor control in your body (i.e. paralysis)

problems with vision

problems with speaking

persistent nausea and vomiting

loss of balance

fainting

seizures

stiff neck muscles with a fever

A Holistic Solution For A Headache On Top Of The Head

Understanding how and why headaches occur is an important part of being able to treat them, and perhaps even stop them from happening at all.

If you have chronic discomfort, it’s important to seek treatment so that you can not only feel relief but also be sure that there isn’t an underlying problem or more serious medical issue that isn’t being addressed.

As you start to understand your cranial anatomy better and become more aware of your particular triggers, you’ll start to notice patterns and know how to avoid recurring agony, especially with the help of a licensed medical professional.

If you choose to be proactive, just having this kind of awareness can help you prevent more discomfort in the future. Similarly, you can even help those around you to treat and avoid it too.
