Tingling/slight pressure/sometimes pain on top of head... started 9 days ago and it seems to start a few hours after i wake up until i go to sleep... is it a headache? should i go to the hospital? maybe imagination but sometimes it feels like pulsing?

My sense is that you're experiencing scalp and not intracranial symptoms. Tension or anxiety may be causing the vague symptom. Nevertheless, I recommend being examined& advised by your physician or a neurologist. Appropriate testing will be ordered depending upon the assessment. You'll have reassurance & peace of mind.
