If it's anything like my situation, blood flow (or lack thereof) causes the heat sensation. With me, blood gathers in my face. My wife used to kind me about wearing a mask... The skin around my eyes and down into my cheeks would turn red and swell (puffy). Hello, Lone Ranger! I found that this was a precursor to a migraine. It didn't matter if I medicated or not, I would get a strong one.

Don't be afraid to talk to your doc about it. Migraines and vascular headaches, in my opinion, messes with your normal blood flow. If you're dealing with either, your doc should know about it.

Peace and blessings.

Sitting here with one now,I was hot when this started ,still suffering but the heat went away, I did go dr. tis morning nothing they could do. why is there not some relieve to this. Hope you feel better ,keep us up dated, hugs Squarley

Thanks for the info guys. Here I sit., suffering the same thing. Today is the 15th. So it has only been a week and I am having the same symptoms. I do notice a pattern of having these symptoms, and the weather changing. I also feel a pressure in my head that is really annoying.

My whole head gets like that. I don't know what to tell you. My neuro knew. He said it was migraine...that particular neuro was not a very good one.

My whole head felt so hot all the time. I would use gel packs to cool it down. Sometimes I used to sleep on them. I would wake up in the middle of the night because the once the gel melted it would start storing the heat my head was giving off. I would wake up because the gel pack was so hot that it had become painful to me. It felt like it had been microwaved.

I have problems with pressure too.

I don't think you are a hypochondriac. I have similar pain. Tell your doctor. Hopefully they can find an answer for you.

Wow, I am so relieved to know that I am not the only one that deals with this! I would say that about half of the migraines I get start with the hot flash in my face along with the horrible pressure :( Other times it starts with yawning...
