I too get these headaches, but only after my second brain surgery, coiling of aneurysm. So far the brain Dr. does not know what they are... It feels like I had a ponytail high up on my head to long and it is sore. I get pain across my forehead and the right side of my head like a stabbing pain . It was the first thing I told the nurse about when I woke up. If you ever get an answer please write back because it seems alot of people get these pains. Until then good luck with the Dr.'s and an answer.
1. only planning and imagination not making effort to do it reality
2.only desire of dream flowing in mind with effort to make it real because never attempting make even single thought in reality result complete blockage of clean thought flow ,which usually not present before suffering of migraine.
3. Practice meditation
4. Pranayama and daily excise helps great extent
5. plan for week schedule and stick to it.
6.stop Tobacco consumption at any cast
I adopted its working really good for me. the reason he said migraine creates thought flow problem if you plan and do it , thought flow become linear and headache reduces.
I think I know what you feel, with ach or pain on very top of your head.
My mother used to have this symptoms in her 40s, I am 52, and I am now experiencing it, so I dogged into it, and here is what I found,
My feeling is that for some reasons blood circulation does not feed that part of your brain adequately. so when you feel this way, try the following:
1) Bereave deeply for five minutes or so and try to let Oxygen to get into your cells, your brain cells my be deprived of air, this will help,
2) Your blood pressure and your blood sugar level may be momentarily too low, Drink a glass of orange juice, this will help to boost your blood pressure and raise up your blood sugar,
3) Try to move your body do some yoga or mild aerobic exercises to let your blood flow into your brain, walking and deep breathing could be very helpful,
Hope the above help you a bit, Good luck.

I had recently taken my wife to a pain management dr for her health issues and noticed a poster on the wall. turns out there is a vertebrae in the neck that if missalinged causes pain one the top of the head. I was drawn to this poster because the spot where the pain can most likey occur is where I was having my pain. I then got some tips from my wifes dr and the nurse there and the pain has been lessening. You might want to try to look into this yourself if you are still suffering from the pain.
If I lay down, the headache eases up. Had MRI CAT ,Lumbar puncture, was in the hospital for a week,high white count,no fever, increased protein and a thickening in the lining of my menges in my head if what they found. This all started with sharp pain/earache in my right ear and tingling in my rt side of face in april. three rounds of antiobiotics later the pain in my rt ear was gone, my eye wasn't swollen, but having bp issues and headaches I never had before. I feel pressure in my head after being vertical. My ears feel like there is cotton in them.If I lay down, headache eases up. It's weird and affecting my life. Haven't made it thru a full week of work in a month. No diagnosis yet. When I bend over sometimes the pain in my head is sharp and a 10. Was on the rt side top of my head, now on the left. It's taking turns. My forehead feels like its being squeezed and I sometimes get pain in back of my neck. My head feels likes it going to explode right off my neck sometimes. This is ridiculous. It just will not go away. Builds upon awakening throughout the day. Dr increased my bp med again on Thurs. Sometimes its good sometimes it's high.I take synthroid, having females issues and vicodin helps when the pain is really bad. I just started another antiobiotic and mucinex on Thursday.My Dr thinks it may be caused by a virus? Wow. I hope it's nothing serious.
To All Who Suffer from Unexplained Symptoms:
I have family members who have been diagnosed with Lymes Disease. Lymes Disease can cause many symptoms which may be misdiagnosed as something else. The problem is that although conventional doctors treat Lymes Disease not all conventional doctors believe in chronic Lymes Disease so to correctly diagnose and effectively treat chronic Lymes Disease you may need to see a non-conventional doctor who does. Unfortunately, the treatments may not be covered by insurance, though we have had some success of our insurance covering expenses. As I was looking for information concerning pain on top of the head, I came across the following that may be of interest to you. I copied it from http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=31&m=1204111. May God's healing be upon all of you. The comment I copied is as follows:
Oh my gosh, I can't believe so many people have what I have. Where ARE you guys and why haven't we met because every time I mention it to anyone, I get this "what do you mean...head pressure?" question and confused look.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Here's my story....
I've had odd, often unrelated symptoms come and go for years that were all dismissed as "normal" upon further testing. In 2003, I began having numbness and tingling in the spine with dizziness, especially when standing in one place for more than 5 minutes. Along with the multitudes of other symptoms that came and went, (usually before I could get in to see a doctor) I ignored it.
First off, I LOVE to fly and have never had a problem my whole life with elevation problems or pressure until.....In June 2004, not quite 40 years old, after a wonderful vacation in Vermont, we were almost home and I was relaxing with a new cd I'd bought in Vermont when suddenly, without warning, I had the most horrific pain shoot through my head like so much lightning!! I thought my head was literally exploding and I actually SCREAMED on the plane. I could not speak, I seemed to have become paralyzed. My husband was panicked, thinking I was having a heart attack. I am not a wimp when it comes to pain and I've dealt with it a lot over the years but this pain made me cry. People around me "realized" what was happening and handed me gum, water, ice, and the stewardess was giving me tips on dealing with the pressure. When I got OFF the plane, the problems had just begun....my son and daughter picked us up at the airport and I was so completely drained of ANY energy, I felt catatonic. (I wasn't tired at all before all that! I was happy and excited after our trip) I struggled to stay awake till my kids went to their rooms for the night and I went to bed and slept for 16 hours. I was not able to sleep for more than an hour a night for the first 3 weeks so of course, I couldn't stya awake during the day. It was a vicious cycle. I went to the ER after a few days and over the next 2 months, I would have a CT Scan, MRI, and see a neurologist. During all this, I am suffering headaches all day and all night. The first month, they were 24/7 with the "almost" same intensity as on the plane. The second month they differed in intensity but were still 24/7 with horrible shooting pains at least twice every hour. The 3rd month, they were still horrible but at least I was now sleeping 3 hours at night and this is the time when the neurologist threw up his hands and said, "Well, some people just have headaches their whole life." Headaches are fine, I told him, I can handle that. But I don't have headaches......I have 1 headache that never goes away. he told me to go home and take Tylenol or something similar....or he could prescribe migraine meds for WHEN i have a headache. (Apparently he did not hear the part where I said I ALWAYS have a headache 24/7) Of course, through all this, it wasn't just a headache, it was pressure, primarily in the back of my head. I couldn't sit back on the couch...too hard. I bought pillow after pillow, even have slept on a balled up blanket because anywhere I laid my head, my eyes felt like they were bulging out of my head!! It feels like something is growing and pressing on my optic nerve. Of course, the scans showed no tumor so I'm "normal", right??
my friend's 14 year old daughter had just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease after years of searching for answers to this girl's problems....many neurological. (When she'd get a new symptom, I'd often say to myself, "Hmm, I've had THAT for years") Well, when I described my above experience, she said, "you need to be tested for Lyme Disease." Of course, she'd been bugging me to do it since her daughter was diagnosed in about MArch of that year.
HOWEVER, The trouble with Lyme Disease diagnosis is this....if you just got bit and know it, you go to the doc, he tests you and if you have it, he prescribes 6 weeks of antibiotics. If you get bit and don't know it (which is common) but somehow are "lucky" enough to be diagnosed before the pathogens invade your body systems, again, you'll be given antibiotics and you'll be healed most likely. But when the antibodies to fight off the Lyme Disease start to disappear, there becomes nothing to test. (This is somewhere around a year but may be less for some people) There IS a test though that is probably cutting edge for people who have what they call the desseminated Lyme. My clinical symptoms were already a "given" that I had it, according to a doc I saw in Missouri but the test confirmed it.
In September, 3 months after my initial explosive headache, I drove 5 hours with a raging pressure and headache to see this doctor, as there are few who are truly knowledgable on Desseminated Lyme Disease. He spent 4 hours with me listening to my history while he made notes. His paperwork is extensive as far as questionaires on symptoms and things so he went over the hundred or so symptoms I checked. When he asked about head pressure (which was an actual symptom of Lyme), I told him the story and he explained the reason (which is confusing and not important here). He prescribed me Diamox to use as needed but I find it makes me real loopy. Once I was diagnosed and he created a plan for me, I went home and began a very intensive antibiotic therapy which consisted of 6 weeks on one drug, switch to another and another and another till I went through about a year and a half's worth. He also suggested going off caffeine and sugars (esp. fake sugar like Equal) for the first 2 months of therapy, taking vitamins, and probiotics along with an anti yeast drug to combat all the yeast from the high doses of antibiotics. Well, barely a month later, I was sleeping 5 hours a night (my normal was 7 hours) and I the headache, though still there had decreased in intensity considerabley! Eventually, they went away completely, as did all my other constant symptoms of pain, nausea, etc. (remember, I had 100 or more symptoms....too many to mention here!) Now it is 2008, and I still have slight pressure in the back of my head still but most of the time, it doesn't bother me. I rarely have headaches and when I do, I wonder what's causing it. It often seems linked to processed foods or fast food hamburgers and such. But I don't know. I am still living with head pressure that sometimes gets worse from time to time but it goes away at least. I have lived with Lyme Disease since probably around 1992 so I probably wil never completely eradicate it. Not everyone does but they get to a level that is under control.
