There are many things that can cause these symptoms -- virus, severe tension-type headache, high blood pressure, high cerebrospinal fluid pressure, and many other possibilities. You need to see your doctor for a diagnosis. We'd love to help, but it's impossible to diagnose via the Internet.
Good luck,

Good Morning,
I was just reading your question. I also suffer from vertigo really bad. Have you seen an neurologist yet? I would say start there and they will probably run some tests to see what is causing you pressure in your head. I was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst that they said isn't causing all of my vertigo. It could possibly be a migraine that is causing the pressure and vertigo. I had just seen my neurologist yesterday and that is what they think is all of my problem.
Good Luck
