Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to occipital neuralgia (a pinched nerve), although the symptoms are not typical of this disorder. Chronic degeneration of the cervical spine or a bulging disc in this region may trigger this clinical situation.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a brain and cervical MRI study.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Best wishes!
