What Could Be The Reason For Having Severe Pain From The Base Of My Skull?
I am 34 weeks pregnant and I am suddenly having severe pain that starts from the base of my skull down the left side of my neck and into my should and arm with some tingling and numbness. Started about 2 days ago and has steadily gotten worse. I have tried using a heating pad and taken Tylenol but it's not helping.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
During pregnancy, changes in the body can affect ones spine that can cause symptoms similar to yours, but it would be best to report to your doctor or an ER immediately as your symptoms are slightly worrying as they mimic some serious conditions, although there is nothing to panic about, it is best to rule out the worst.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
