What Causes Chronic Pressure At The Base Of The Skull?
Hi,
For the past 6+ months now, I have been experiencing this very strange pressure in my head. Kind of feels like it's behind my jaw, between my ears maybe. I have seen 2 different ENTs thinking it was ear related, but they said it wasnt. An MRI showed thickening of my tongue base and polypoid mucosal thickening. But this weird pain / pressure feels like its at the base of my skull. What could be causing this? Could it be a tumor? I havent had an MRI of the brain, just my neck. Please help.
Scared and defeated.
