It’s not really a headache and doesn’t last more than 30-40 minutes. It just feels like someone either hit me in the temple or is pushing on it.

I've had it where my entire head feels like it's going to pop. It is like my head is in a very tight helmet, a lot of pressure. I have migraines and I've seen bright flashes of light also, including double vision? But I completely understand the pressure in the temples and head. This has been going on for more than a year now. They prescribed Meloxicam but I only will take this if it's extreme pain but I honestly prefer Tylenol and tramadol. The tramadol though I can't even get a prescription for anymore since it's considered a controlled substance? But it works so well for me since I also deal with extreme abdominal pains. I know when I am stressed this doesn't help - trying to get in a quiet place and put in relaxing sounds or music to get calm/relaxed does and can help wonders too😌

Yes, changes in barometric pressure can do this. See my recent post

I knocked my temple on a corner of a cabinet really hard and I also knocked the same temple on the corner of a washing machine after bending down to reach something and I felt that kind of pain so mine was not a fibro related thing. Have you ever knocked your temples though and maybe the body is remembering since the body does keep account of all the knocks and bruises.
