Question: Headache at top of head...pressure...tender skull...

Answer:

Dear Jacqueline:
I'm glad you are about to see a neurologist (hope [s]he is also well versed in headaches). If your symptoms occur more than 2-3 times per week, it may be worth a trial of some prophylaxis-type medication that might otherwise help different types of headaches.
Good luck,
John Claude Krusz
