Hi, Based on your history you are suffering from occipitonuchal headache.You need to consult neurologist for clinical examination.You require MRIcervical spine to rule out craniovertebral anomaly and also screening of brain.Meantime you have to continue your migraine prophylaxis drugs and painkillers for relief of local inflammation.Take precautions, avoid laughing, weight bearing ,till you are seen by neurologist and investigated.
