What Causes Severe Pressure Behind The Neck?
What causes me severe pressure through back ôf neck, and occipital region on upward. It‘s so bad, I can‘t stand for very long. I ve been diagnosed w/occipital neuralgia {have constant pressure in that area}. I have chronic migraines at times, I deal with vertigo everyday, I was hit in the head several times years ago, causing a hematoma on the brain, which was dissolved w/heparin. Just a few insights. I can‘t work anymore, and my quality of life is poor.

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI neck.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
