Head pressure and stress
I had done MRI for pressure and stress inside head, which is appearing frequently from past one month. At its peak it's intolerable and lasts for 10 to 20 mins. I had some personal and work stress in life.
The MRI report says,
straightening of cervical spine. Multilevel disc dehydration in the cervical spine. Central disc protrusion at C5-C6 causing mild ventral thecal sac indentation.
Is this the cause of stress in head ?
I used to have stiff neck once or twice a year and used to heal on its own in couple of days., without much problem. What I am experiencing now is horrible.
