head pressure
Skull feels full
Head pressure is a sensation of fullness, tightness, or compression in the head—distinct from sharp pain.
It often accompanies sinus congestion, tension headaches, or changes in altitude: I've had this dull head pressure all day.
In engineering contexts, head pressure refers to the force exerted by a column of fluid, measured by its height.
