Suggest Treatment For Head Pressure Causing Difficulty In Concentrating

Hi, for a while now I ve been having some major head pressure, it feels like my head is that weak that I cannot concentrate on anything, I ve had so much time off work now because of the issue, it s always there underlying but can get worse on certain days. I sometimes have feelings of nausea, and burning sensations in my stomach however I also feel that my bottom left wisdom tooth is infected as it s giving off a funny taste and feels like it s weeping. I have regular eye floaters in my right eye I can see them every day since this started 8th October, could this be down to my tooth infection? I ve been to the doctors and also opticians and opticians didn t find anything at the back of my eyes, docs Meds have done nothing for me, and I ve got a CT scan booked for this week. I was just wondering if I could get any advice from anyone here? Many thanks. :)
