Sorry if i'm posting to much but in recent light i really got to ask this. When i first started research on Cthulhu i felt a small pressure in on top of my brain. Now as i continue with the Cult stuff i get more pressure. It really only happens when i think of Cult related stuff. Would really like to know if this is normal.

I felt the same, and I'm glad to read I'm not alone.
I could feel my whole brain, it's form and size every time I was thinking to Cthulhu and the Cult when I discovered it two years ago. Not painful but strong feeling.
I liked to imagine that it was Cthulhu re-shaping it, or simply calling me... Who knows ? or maybe feeling of a great cosmic truth, or may be just because when thinking differently you use your brain an unusual way.
Don't worry I'm doing well ! Everything in my life became better. Now it's seldom and much weaker but it not disappeared. Hey, now that I remember it and try to describe it, here it come again !
When the stars are right !

I'm glad someone else had this effect. Was worried for a bit there. Cthulhu was the oddest case i studied. I did multiple Pantheons and tons of other topics but none had that pressure. I guess in a way i felt a Call of Cthulhu. Even as I type i can fell it. It's amazing how somethings can turn out.

Essentially what you are experiencing, is the shift. The Cthulhu Mythos takes the normal perception and shifts it to to 'abnormal' parameters. When Lovecraft writes about 'non-Euclidean' angles it is this aura of Eldritch weirdness that causes your brain activity to be directly affected.
The effects may be strange dreams, or thoughts that are ever present in your subconscious throughout the day. The cult is in you, and even if Cthulhu rises from the depths of R'lyeh to devour it, you desire this to be made manifest.

I have felt similar things, usually in the early stages of prep for a ritual. Now that I think about it, it could correlate to cthulhu and the A:O.
It reminds of the first paragraph from The Call of Cthulhu. In particularly; "but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will openup such terrifying vistas of realit, and frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age"

Precisely, I believe Lovecraft took cues from Eastern philosophers. As you may know Judeo-Christianity took cues from these writers, and it was adopted and evolved into the Flaming Pearl. This is very much like "The Call" and its affects. You will never be the same having seen the pearl, or heard the call from the depths of R'lyeh.

I feel a pressure in my frontal lobe whenever I work with cult related material. I'm pretty sure this kind of thing is usual.
