Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to occipital neuralgia. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a brain and cervical spine MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
