Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I keep getting these headaches it starts in the tendons in the back left side of my neck then its like my head pressurizes even my eyes feel pressurized I get them multiple times every day I have found when I sit with my head back on the couch with the couch supporting the base of my skull after a few mins it goes away for awhile
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to occipital neuralgia. I suggest using an over the counter option to treat the pain such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. I also suggest to rest and avoiding factors that can trigger the symptoms. If the symptoms continue, you should see a neurologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
