Specializes in Neurology

Not pressure: While it may feel subjectively like pressure, it isn't pressure. Brain tissue has no sensory faculty. The brain can sense every part of the body but itself. It's just a feeling. If you don't like it, you should discuss it with the doctor who prescribed the med.
