A member asked:
When i lay on my stomach with my head propped up, i get an intense pressure in my head. it feels like an overfilled ballon. what could it be?

I suspect: Since it is positional I suspect that it would be related to pressure on nerves or blood vessels in your high neck area. You could have manipulation done to see if it helps or just avoid the position. Others might have some other suggestions for you.
