Is this normal?

When you tilt your head and body right forward (as if to try and pour blood into it) does your head feel really pressurised and general uncomfortable?

Probably me just worrying about nothing

Yer sounds about right to me but if in doubt then get your ass to the doctor!

Barks · 5 Mar 2009 at 16:19

I've had it for years. That's why I can't stand fun fair rides that suspend you upside down, my head feels like it'll explode lol

if you stayed in that position for an hour yes, otherwise no. stay off the sugar

I used to get that until I realised making small incisions in my neck reduced the pressure significantly.

To be fair I mean after about 20 seconds. Not a problem for anyone?

Why when it's his head with the issue?!

I can bend forwards and hug my knees with my chin

If in doubt you know what to do.

The point of this thread was to use the anoniminity of the internet to find out if this is normal. If you lot can hang upside down for 10 minutes and not feel any pressure then, yes, I'm probably in trouble. If you all experience exactly the same thing then it's obviously the norm.

What did you expect ?

It's a normal thing when blood is suddenly rushing to your brain - mavity isn't a mystery!

Barks · 5 Mar 2009 at 16:48

So you all feel strong pressure when you tilt your head forwards/upside down.

Have you had any touble with you sinuses?

As this can cause a feeling of pressure build up.

I've had it for years, get quite dizzy when leaning forward too.

Yes I had a sinus infection a few months back, that really was weird.
