Feeling of tightness in head

2020-03-26 03:55:00
All of a sudden while sitting I feel like there is a lot of pressure inside my head. Often when I lie down (mostly at night) it feels like head is getting tight or immense pressure inside head. Sometimes, there is scratching type of sound inside left ear with the pressure inside head.
