Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your symptoms and the two most common causes of this type of pain are:

1. Muscle tension headache, referred to as tension headache.

2. Occipital neuralgia

In the initial period, you can take medicines such as naproxen for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you should get examined by a neurologist for confirmation of the diagnosis.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
