A member asked:

I'm not laying flat or sleeping flat, but my head feels tight, randomly during the day & it almost feels like i'm laying down and blood is rushing?

Dr. David Kam answered

Head tightness: At 17, the likely causes will be tension headache, inadequate sleep or stress. Start with your primary care doctor.
