Headaches feel like pressure in your head because something is causing your brain or the nerves around it to hurt. It’s kind of like when you squeeze a balloon too hard, it feels uncomfortable inside. Sometimes, the muscles in your neck and face get tight, which can make your head feel like it's buzzing or throbbing.
Examples
- You get a headache after sitting too long at your desk.
- Your head throbs when you skip breakfast and start your day with stress.
- A bright light in the classroom makes your head feel like it’s pulsing.
