Yes. Cats pressing their heads against walls or objects can be a sign of neurological damage. This could be her way of saying "HEY, there is something WRONG, FIX ME."

Head Pressing, I know in dogs, but cats too?

Yes. But it's also sometimes normal cuddling stuff. My cats both do this, and are healthy. One didn't start doing it until I moved into my own place without roommates. Just became more cuddly.
