Hi,

Well, many patients are like this not wanting to see a Doctor unless something serious comes up.
Hence it is important for family to counsel her first that she needs to get examined and investigated for the sake of knowing that everything is normal.
Pressure in head can be due to many a problems like hypertension, increased intra-cranial tension, some medical diseases and so on.
Hence it is important to get the clinical examination done and get relevant investigations as per the clinical findings.
CT scan of head is obligatory in such cases.
Treatment of the primary cause if found like raised blood pressure or any vascular disease can help the best to have cure or good control of the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
