What should you do if you have chronic head pressure that comes and goes and sometimes stabbing headaches for the last year and a half after you had a root canal?
Headaches and head pressure are a real 'pain' to contend with especially when it keeps reoccurring. And, headache as a symptom is not easy to track down because it can have many causes, including:
- sinusitis or sinus pain - especially if the tooth's roots are close to or in the sinus cavity
- teeth, infected tooth, impacted tooth, or tooth abscess
- neck or shoulder problem
- or allergy
Since it has been a year and a half, I'd start with your family doctor. He/she can try to rule out the different possibilities and try to narrow it down.
You should also visit a dentist to rule out an actual tooth problem, if a problem exists. Ask them to do an X-ray of the root-canal. On a root canal I had done, the old type of posts used were pressing on a nerve. For mine, the tooth finally split in half (front came off) and the pain went away... of course, I lost that tooth, though.
I doubt a dentist or Dr would give you an antibiotic because it's been so long since the procedure. But do ask your GP to check your sinuses and ENT (ears, nose, throat).
