Mine is dull in back but then moves to the top and frontal. 99% of the time its only on the right side. Mild pain, at times mild/moderate and Sometimes no pain, just a mild sense of pressure. I have sore tender pressure points on my scalp and right side of jaw. Sound familiar? I get that pressure in my face as well. Thanks.
Everyone is different, I would get “migraines” and then I would get “chiari headaches” less frequently. I just had surgery last week so I can tell u what I had been experiencing: chiari headaches were a lot of pressure on my neck and a heavy feeling weighing down on my shoulders, sometimes the pain would cradle the back of my head but the pain was always more like pressure. My migraines were all over headaches that felt like I was in a fog and couldn’t concentrate or focus, I would get lightheaded if I was active. There was a lot of pressure I assume from spinal fluid build up. I also had and have a lot f jaw tightness.
