Painful headache in back of head? Lately, and every now and then, I get a pretty painful headache in the back of my head/neck area, on my right side.

Back of my head headache?? Ok, so I get these headaches sometimes like in the back of my head (not behind my ears where the sinus cavity is, I know what that pain is like, I get sinus infections in the winter... it's sorta above that area). It's not like a normal headache (trust me, I got those ALL the time too and I know what they feel like). But this is like pain in the actual back part of my head. It sometimes hurts when I'm looking downwards for awhile (like to look at a computer when I'm standing up). Could it be somethin about my spine? I've never had back problems (I'm only 20 yrs old)... Any help would be great. I've looked online and can't really find anything. I'm hoping someone knows what I'm talking about and can help! Thanks everyone! P.S. I don't think it's tension headaches... it just happens totally randomly... not when I'm stressed or anything

Recurring Back of the Head Headache? First off I'm a 23yo healthy male, i work out at least 4 times a week and try to eat right. I started taking these pills(Lipo-6x) to help cut the fat from my body and i got a headache from taking them. Even thought i got the headaches i still continued to take them for about 2 more weeks because they worked so well. After i stopped taking them i was still experiencing headaches. These headaches are located at the back of my head a very rarely move to the front. The pain is not severe either probably a 2-3 out of 10, and kind a a dull/throbbing pain. They usually come mid day or at night, and very rarely its accompanied by nausea. Then I decided to get my eyes examined and i needed a new prescription to correct my eyesight, and sure enough the headaches went away for a couple days, then i decided i would try to take the pills again since i figured it was my eyes causing the headaches but after i took the pill i got a headache again. Now here i am i haven't taken the pills in 3 weeks and my headaches still continue. Any suggestions on what it could be?

I get this sharp stabbing headache right behind my ear on the back of my head whenever gums get sensative? I've experienced this for the past 10 years but never thought much of it until now. I had my wisdom tooth pulled about 10 years ago. On the left side of my mouth where that tooth was pulled, the gums where the tooth used to be get a bit sensative and feels like its a bit swollen about once every 3-6 months. Whenever that happens I get this sharp pain behind my ear on the back of my head for about a day and it goes away and so does the swelling and sensativity on my gums. Does this make any sense? It's been bothering me a bit more lately. Yes I'm going to see a doctor but it's hard to get diagnosed because it comes at random times and I can't see my doctor without an appointment. The gums are ONLY swollen where that wisdom tooth used to be. Any doctors in the house tell me if this is related? Thanks.

what is this headache at the back of my head? had a lumbar puncture on thursday.? i have had this headache since about 2am sunday morning when i got up to feed my baby. it is at the back just behind my left ear and only really hurts if i move suddenly or if i turn my head to the left. yesterday i was also feeling very nauseous but did not actually vomit. last thurday i had a lumbar puncture (well attemted anyway - after 3 attempts i told them i couldnt take anymore as they couldnt get any fluid out) i know lumbar punctures can cause headaches and nausea but am unsure whether it would have been instant or if because i did not have any fluid removed it would not be that. it is like a build up of pressure as i move my head more to the left. i do not get headaches often but when i do they usually go with sleep and this hasnt. i was having the lumbar puncture as a ct scan is only 95% accurate in finding brain bleeds but the doctors were confident that i had recovered from my symptoms quickly enough to rule that out anyway. any ideas anyone? thanks. i havent drank alcahol in about a year so it cant be that. the reason i went to hospital in the first place was because of a pain at the back of my head but it was nothing like this - it came on suddenly and it felt like my head was going to explode and i couldnt stop vomiting. i gave birth to my daughter 10 days ago and it was not a very straightforward labour and i havent really been sleeping and am supposed to be resting but am probably overdoing it if that could be connected. oh and one more thing sometimes it shifts to the left side of my forehead.

Headache, back of head? I get headaches (migraines, sinus headaches, etc.) fairly often, but never like this. The back left of my head, sort of straight back from the top of my ear (so higher, not at my neck, and not at the top of my head) throbs and feels like my brain's being squeezed. It gets worse when I turn my head to the right (but not the left)- and again, squeezing kind of pain, doesn't shoot down my neck or anything so it doesn't seem like it's muscular. I've been getting it on and off for a couple of weeks. I've also fainted twice in the last 3 weeks (possibly unrelated, but as of yet also undiagnosed, so maybe relevant), and been dizzy and lightheaded numerous other times. This is often accompanied by my heart racing. Few random other details, because I don't know what may or may not matter: I've had a bit of a runny nose on and off- no congestion, just runny nose, which is unusual for me. No sinus pressure or pain in the front of my head, though. I'm a 22 year old female, 5'5" and 122lbs, in otherwise good condition, on birth control. I am a college student, which does come with a certain amount of stress, but I haven't felt any more or less so than normal, so I'm not inclined to think it's a tension headache. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Headache in back of head when I sleep on my back? I have made an appointment with my doctor to discuss this but he can not see me for a couple of weeks so I wanted to see if anyone has had similar issues and if so, what it may be.

I have only mentioned the above in case it is related somewhat to the following. I rarely sleep on my back, but when I do, I ALWAYS wake up and have a headache in the back of my head. It hurts a lot when I go to move my head, usually it goes away after a couple of minutes when I turn onto my stomach to go back to sleep. Any clue as what this may be? I appreciate any help. Thank you

Headache In Back of Head, Brain Tumor? or Tension? I started noticing this about 2 weeks ago, it first started and in some cases still remains as an unexplainable to tingly sort of feeling around the bald spot area on the center of the head. But recently I noticed I've been getting these weird sort of tightening/heaviness feeling in the back of the head while the tingly feeling still remains. And I have felt as if I haven't been getting the amount of sleep I usually get, and I've been tired and the headache persisted, and sorta feels like it goes down to my neck area, now I'm a really paranoid person and when something happens to me I automatically assume it's the worst case. And I've had these bad thoughts about "what if I die, what if this what if that" And I am assuming that some of the pain is generated from my negative thoughts. I asked my mom and she said it's stress and not eating healthy. I also went to my doc when I was sick, this was when the pain wasn't as bad, and when I told him, it felt as if he just blew the question off and said all these soar throats and headaches I'm feeling are from allergies. But for some reason I don't trust him. So I wanted to see what you guys have to think. So if you can please help me out and give your opinions as best you can, thanks!

sudden severe headache in back of head...help? i haven't found anything describing what i had s I'll ask here. a few days ago I had a mild tension start in my neck, not even annoying. w/in 5 miinutes it had gone to the back of my head around the bottom of my skull. I vomited then just curled up holding the back of my head for a while. the pain was sudden and immense pressure. it covered the entire back half of my head. pains eased considerablyafter about 30 minutes, but i've been lighthead and feel pressure in my head since. i'll go for CT scan tomorrow, but does anybody have any ideas i can research. all i've figured out is that it was not a migraine. i porobably should of gone to a doc immediatly but i was on vacation at the time. everything i've read mentions throbbing and pain near temples and on 1 side, so i'm stumped. I'm asking more if anyone has ideas I can research till I get my test results or if anyone has had the same experience. I went to the doc. he gave me a scipt for a CT scanand said it was okay to go tomorrow morning so does that suggest it's not an aneurysm? I mean, wouldnt he say go now if he thought it was? I have no idea what the procedure or protocall is for that possible suspected diagnosis. anyone know?

Nevermind! I went on google and typed in the symptoms and found that it's called ice pick headaches. Just incase anyone wants to know, I'm gunna leave the question up ok? ^^ Thanks for those who answered though!

Headache in the back of my head, is this a bad thing? I have been sick all week and have a headache in the back of my head. It's a lot of pain and I am very dizzy when I get up.

I know most people who will answer this are not doctors, but I just want to know if this could be something serious.

Severe headaches, back of head...never go away? I have had severe headaches in the back of my head since March 2nd. They are not considered migraines by doctors. I have seen an immunologist, 2 neurologists, an allergist, a rheumatologist a chiropractor, plenty of ER doctors, an optometrist, and opthalmologist, a neurosurgeon and countless other doctors. Pain medications like Vicodin and codeine do not affect it. I have had a CT scan and 2 MRIs, all of which were normal (I have considered Chiari malformation, but my MRI/radiation tech doesn't see it in my film. I have had many blood tests, all returning normal(negative). I wore a neckbrace and took muscle relaxants for a week on the demand on my neurosurgeon. I have also had an angiogram to rule out artery damage. My mom wants be to try Botox injections, but they aren't proven so I'm not sure. Any suggestions for help?

Bad headache in the back of head and temples? A few months ago i got this really bad headache in the back of my head and temples. It lasted for about a week and finally went away after a few visits to a physical therapist, who told me my posture was bad and there was a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck area. Since then I've been getting headaches like the one I had, but they only last for a few hours or a day at the most. No pain medication helps me, and I've tried everything. Now I have one of my headaches but it's worse than usual. I tried tylenol, advil, motrin... basically everything. I have excedrin tension headache medication but it never seems to work. I don't know how long this one will last. How can I get it to go away?

Headache in the back of head? This morning at the start of pt we took off on our run at a dead sprint. About 300 yards later they had us do 50 elevated pushups. So I put my feet over the wall and began. At 35 I began to feel funny. At 40 i got a bit dizzy and at 45 I had to stop because it felt like the back of my brain was going to blow out of my head. It got somewhat better as the day went on but here I am 10 hours later and I can still feel a dull throbbing pain in the back of my head. What gives?

Lower back of head headaches? I have been getting these headaches in the back of my head lower part of head and neck is killing me and back pains and headache in the front of my head above the eyebrowns and temples it this all related to the sinus headache or something else?

Headache in the back of my head, with some neck discomfort.? For the past week or so I have been experience a pain in the back of my head sometimes on the right side. It also causes some neck pain. I believed it to be a tension headache but the medicine I took wasn't helping. I decided to try sinus medicine since I do have bad sinuses and the weather has been changing and that seems to work but the headache comes back. It usually comes towards the middle of the day and varies from a dull pain to a stabbing pain when I move my head or neck around. Could this be sinus related even if it is in the back of my head? It is very agitating and I am experiencing a little congestion and my ears have been popping. Please help! Thank you in advance.

bad headache in base of neck/back of head? For the last, I'd say, 3-4 days I've been getting a sharp pain/headache in the base of my neck/low back of my head and it hurts really bad. What kind of headache or what could this be. I've also been getting wierd headaches in the front of my head, towards the left side. Is both of these put together a continuous migraine or what.

Weird headache in the lower back of head? I have been getting a very dull headache in the lower back of my head. The best way to describe it is that its similar to someone holding onto your arm(or any other body part): it doesn't actually hurt, but you can feel it. it seems to be right above my neck where my head starts. Sort of a numbness feeling, and it seems like it has to do maybe with my spine. I do drink a lot on weekends (Its not a hangover headache), could overall general drinking and "blacking out" be causing this? it seems to come later the next day, even into the day after that. I am getting concerned, cause like most people, I'm assuming for the worst, such as a tumor or such. Also could my wisdom teeth be causing this? I haven't gotten them removed, which was supposed to be over the summer. I have been delaying the removal, for various reasons. Anyone have any answers for this? What action I should take (Besides seeing a doctor)

Pain in back of head? Lately, I've been getting these weird pains in the back of my head. Sometimes, if it gets really bad, it spreads through my entire head, and it feels like a normal headache. The weird thing is that when I'm running (track practice) or just moving or doing anything that requires me to be standing or something, the pain is completely gone. However, when I'm sitting still, like when I'm in school or doing homework, the pain comes back, dull at first, and eventually it starts pulsing and hurting quite a bit. Also, when I wake up from a short nap or something, I have a huge headache, similar to what it feels like when I sit around doing nothing for a long time. I've looked some things up, and I'm pretty sure I don't have a brain tumor or a brain aneurysm, and I really doubt that I'm having migraines. But who knows. I only know what google tells me. Anyone have any idea what this is, and would it be big enough of a deal for me to see my doctor ASAP?

Headache in the back of my head? I never really have headaches ever but just today i got one and i was like okay i have a headache, but i never really felt what a head ache was because i rarely never get them. I dont know if its normal or not but its like in the left side of the back of my head, and theres this little bump thats always been there but i have no idea what it actually is. Im jsut wondering what that bump is and if a head ache is normal in the bakc of the head. Thanks

Headache/Pressure: Back/Lower back of head? About 4 weeks ago I woke up with this headache which I can actually describes as something between a headache and the sensation of pressure. The location of the pain is at the back of my head and feels as if it stops just where the neck starts. During the day I can feel it just simmering but it isn't really so that I would drink a painkiller. The brunt of this headache happens during the night when I sleep. It seems to develop faster when I lie on my right side and when I turn to the left it seems to resides (going to sleep). During sleep it wakes me up and I feel horrible with pressure/pain. As soon as I wake more and sit/stand the headache seems to go away after a few minutes (not completely but just simmering again). I can bend over, push pull etc and I don't get the pressure feeling in my head. My coordination and all other things seems very normal. Drinking painkillers during the day wouldn't take the simmer away completely it would just suppress it a bit more. My neck do feels a bit stiff the last few weeks. The bad headache that awakes me up doesn't happen every night so there isn't a real pattern to it. The only thing I might have is a little elevated blood pressure and iron deficiency which I am being treated for. Many Thanks Forgot to mention: Both my forearems seems to die (sleep) during the night. This rarely happened in the past. Both ears also seems to "ring/high pitch" more than before.

sometimes when i start running, i get a pulsing headache in the back of my head? It's really annoying, but is it bad? What causes it, cuz it only happens about a third of the time?

headache in the back of the head? ive had this strange ache in the back of head (around the cowlick area) for about 3-4 days now. ive experienced this before, but they usually goes away as the day progresses. its seems to only be noticeable if i tilt or shake my head, and its a throbbing pain similar to someone poking at a bruised area. i dont recall bumping my head and its not allergies or sinuses. i havnt drank alcohol for a while and its not due to physical exertion. according to this website : http://www.headaches.org/press/NHF_Press_Kits/Press_Kits_-_The_Complete_Headache_Chart arthritis headache seems to have the closest symptom, but im not entirely satisfied/convinced thats the cause. i usually get 5 hours of sleep a night (and then nap in the day) so could this be stress related? should i be worried? is there anything i should do in particular?

What is that pain at the back of my head....tension headache? My head would ''crack'' like knuckles at times? The pain is reduced by pressing and massaging on it.

Sharp pain in the back of my head :(? Since I woke up yesterday I've been having this extreme sharp pain on the left side of my head at the back (on the occipital lobe). I can't bend my head to the left at all, maybe an inch before I can't anymore. Forwards or to the right isn't as bad but still painful. After a bit of pain trying to move then pain kind of lingers like a headache :S My boyfriend said I probably just slept funny but its still bad today. I've searched google but can't find anything helpful, if it's still bad in a week I'll go doctors, but any kinda help would be nice? :) thanks for the help so far :) the pains not in my neck and is only when i bend my head to the sides or forward, its only on the left side and doesnt hurt when its touched. squeesing and rubbing it doesnt help because the pain feels a lot deeper than that.

neck pain minor headache in the back of head... brain tumor? please read!? Neck pain minor headache in the back of head... brain tumor? please read!? For a couple of years, I've had a really bad neck. I previously went to the doctors in Jan and they told me to go to a PT to stretch it out. I did and did the excercise they gave me. However I did not do them that often like they told me too. A couple of weeks ago I found out that ONLY when i turned my head to the left and back forward to the front, I could here a little crack or pop in my neck (cervical spine area)... Ever since then my neck/shoulder area kinda has been really bad even after I stretch. I can never sit in place for more than a minute because of my neck. Another things that has recently appeared was that this pain was kind of getting worse.. Not only can i keep my neck still when watching a movie or sitting down, but I did not sleep very well (lack of sleep).. In the morning i constantly would have stiff neck and minor headaches. Sometimes these symptoms would go away if i do somethign that gets my mind off of it. I have full range of motion its just that left side of the neck/shoulder isnt going away. I've taken a muscle relaxant and advil but dont want to be dependent on it.... I have read that neck pains may cause a brain tumor? I am worried? do i have it?

Why am I getting sudden pains in the back of my head and sudden bouts of lightheaded-ness? I have recently been having problems focusing/ and comprehending things in school. I feel really out of it and i get sudden bouts of lightneadedness. I am also getting weird shooting pains in the back of my head, along with slight headaches and a slight feeling of pressure on the top, rear portion of my skull. I also experience a bit of ear pain. All of the pain i have mentioned before is not intense. I think i may have suffered an inner ear/sinus injury while scuba diving. When i cam home from diving i was a bit dizzy, but the dizziness got worse the next day, and i felt nauseous and lightheaded. I also began to experience a slight pain in my heart. Those issues have since mostly alleviated themselves and i am left with my head problems and a slight pain in my chest once every few days. it has been around 2 weeks since my dive. Are my current problems because of an inner ear/sinus injury? PLEASE HELP!!!

what do I have, sore throat/fever/tired for 48 hours clear sinuses, and headache in back of head for 5 weeks.? I have a sore scratchy throat where my voice box is, like it is lower than where my sore throats usually are. I have a fever, and sleeping all day. I've had a headache in the back of my head with pressure and pain in neck for the past 5 weeks, so I'm doubting my head hurting in the back now has to do with my current sickness but I'm scared I've had the sore throat not feeling well for exactly 48 hours. the back of my head has been hurting for 5 weeks. sinuses are as clear as the air, more clear actually. I'm so so scared i have meningitis. it's late at night so I can't go to the doctor right now. i need some reassurence oh also I HAVE NO RUNNY NOSE, ACTUALLY MY SINUSES ARE MORE CLEAR THAN USUAL?

Sore back of head, sore ear + jaw - What is this?

Severe pounding headache in back of head, nausea, 84.6 temperature. Onset of headache: 3AM? Recurring headaches, not often, but usually at least one per month, has been a life-long problem, but this was the coldest I have ever felt, which is why I took my temperature using a temporal scanner. I always take at least 3 readings. I the temperature reading was from around 6AM. I have seen a doctor about the headaches, and have had some testing done, but not while the headache was present. I am considering seeing a Neurologist, but I do not wish to was the doc's time, especially as there are others with more serious problems. I returned my temperature to normal with an extended hot shower, before discovering that such a low temperature may have required medical supervision. Normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol. No alcohol or drugs including prescription medications. I have never smoked. I am a little concerned because of the low temperature. How common is this kind of issue? Should I be concerned? Is a Neurologist the approriate specialist for this kind of concern?

Cause of headache at back of head? This last friday, I woke up with a huge headache at the back of my head, on one side. I had occasional stabbing pain in the area, like if someone was hammering in a nail. The area was also particularly sensitive to touch, as in touching the scalp or hair would hurt considerably. The next day, the pain was (almost completely) gone, however today, I got the full pain from 2 days ago (last friday). What can the causes be and is there cause for alarm? Other (possible symptoms) are : I had ear pain friday, when the headache started. My neck is also fairly painful. I also did not hit my head as far as I know.

Headache in back of neck when heartbeat goes fast.? Hey guys! I was bench pressing recently but I wasn't really concentrating and was pushed my head back into the chair.

throbbing headache back of head? Ok so basically I was playing hockey at the rink and I wound up for a very powerful shot and let it go, but right after, the back left of my head started throbbing. This was on Saturday, it is now Thursday going on Friday. I am scared to go to the doctor but I don't think its anything serious. It throbs whenever I get blood flowing (i.e. when I get up, when I walk around, etc.) and has a sharp pain when I move my head in certain ways. Could this be a muscle strain, or is it something more serious like AV fistula? I am 15 and male by the way. Forgot to mention that no medication has worked so far, and I've been using the "magic-bag" that you microwave. I've tried ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, codeine, acetaminophen + codeine, nothing has worked so far.

what would cause a headache in the back oof your head>? i had many medical tests 5 years ago and nothing was found...i dont' think anything serious could have developed that quickly? anyways...i've been having odd headaches in the back of my head...expecially when i laugh...they are so bad when i laugh that i have to stop what i'm doing. they're only in the back... then, i've been lightheaded a lot lately. i thought it was due to an upcoming 'monthly' but i haven't gotten my monthly in 2 months (but there's NO chance i'm prego) i've always been lightheaded and the doctors 5 years ago chocked it off to anxiety. so it has bugged me off and on, but nothing major until recently. i have been under stress, but even when i'm not under stress i get lightheaded. had a scary incident at work the other day when i just got really tired and felt like i wasn't there and started messing stuff up that i usually do very well in...that worried me. i did just graduate and i know im stressed, but i still worry it could be pointing to a brain tumor or something of the sort. my only symptoms (probably most unrelated) are persistant acid reflux, tiredness, lightheadedness, headaches in back of head, backache. it really worries me about what it could be, but like i said, i had tons of tests 5 years ago. wouldnt' anything serious had been detected then? i dont' see how something as serious as a tumor or cancer would develop in only 5 years after a completely normal test....usually those things take much longer. plus, i have looked all over the internet and i can't find anything about headaches in the back of the head and lightheadedness and tiredness other than pregnancy symptoms, which i couldn't be since i had a monthly after the last time i "did it" and i haven't been gaining tons of weight or anything...3 months into a pregnancy and i SHOULD know if i would be or not, ya know? sigh...it is mainly these headaches and lightheadedness that bother me...is it possible to tell if someone has a tumor through blood tests? mri's are so expensive for my father to pay for and it seems stupid for me to go get one just for symptoms that have lasted only about a month off and on when i'm under stress and it's probably just stress doing it, but i still wonder if it could be the symptoms of a brain tumor or cancer or something. anyone have the same symptoms ever and if so, what were your diagnosis? thanks!

Head shakes, headache in back of back of head, and pressure behind eyes? It's like I get a shiver in my head, and it shakes for less than a second. I get a real bad headache that starts in the back of the head, and will eventually make my entire head hurt. I've got constant pressure behind my eyes, making it hard to look right from left with tons of visual disturbances. I've had this for almost a year now. I've got a spinal tap done yesterday, and due for an MRI tomorrow. What could this be?

Excruciating headache in back of head when masturbating? I was masturbating, and got this pain in the back of my head. Didn't care. Kept on stroking. Then, it started getting worse. All of a sudden, it feels like a knife was jabbed through the back of my head, below my ears. It was excruciating! I stopped masturbating, which for me, is like the second coming of Jesus Christ. I just zipped up my pants and layed on the bed. For 15 whole minutes, I was in hell. It was probably the worst pain I had ever experienced in my life. It was like a striking sensation in the back of my head. It would come every 3 seconds. Those 15 minutes felt like an eternity. I didn't even attempt to masturbate since then, being afraid that I might get this again. What was this??

Fast sharp headache back of the head? I woke up feeling a bit nauseated and chalked it up to hunger. Ate something and felt better but then I started getting small intermittent headaches. They happen for less than 5 seconds behind my head just where the head meets the neck. I took some Tylenol and that took away some of the intensity away. The nausea continued and I finally vomited and felt much better. Since then the pains have been less frequent and less sharp. Could this be an ear infection or flu? I usually get the nausea as part of PMS (sometimes hunger too) and I am due for my period in a few days but I've never gotten those sharp pains.

I have been getting constant headaches/migraines in the back of my head. I need help? For probably the past month and 1/2 I have been getting constant headaches in the back of my head. It's a constant pain that seems to not go away. Advil doesn't seem to work much at all. One thing I have noticed is that alcohol seems to trigger these headaches. Only after a few drinks and I have the same pain (no it's not a hangover). Thought it might be a cluster headache but shouldn't they been in the front of the head? Can anyone help me and tell me what this is? One more thing to add. I seem to get the exact same headache if I either drink or smoke marijuana? The same for both.

Headache in back of head? Sometimes i get this small headache in the back of my head. Whenever i tilt my head back and move it back up, it feels like it is heavy bt it doesn't hurt when i do that. It seems to hurt worse when i bend over or shake my head back and forth. It usually comes at random times during the day but doesn't happen everyday. Sometimes it happens in the morning and starts on my left temple. What could it be? Also my left ear feels like it's stopped up but when i pop it, it doesn't help. 4 days ago there was a sore or something in it and it was red and swollen but thats gone now. Other question got deleted when Yahoo messed up last night.

Dull headache at back of head, caused by teeth? Please Help!? I've been having this really dull head-ache on and off for the last few weeks. It only lasts for 20 mins or so normally but it is recurring, some days I get it a few times, others just once. Its not sharp or stabbing pain, just pressure (I guess its more like a tension-headache) but it sometimes gets worse, wont shift and I take some ibuprofen tablets until it does. The pain seems to make my teeth feel a little bit numb, as if its going down to my molars at the top of my mouth. Both molars have exposed holes in them due to cracking (i do have fillings and the dentist just told me to 'brush carefully...) but I'm wondering whether thats got something to do with the headaches? The teeth themselves don't hurt and ones been cracked for about a year, the other more recently, like a month ago. But these headaches are just hanging round and irritating me. I'm a little bit health paranoid and so its getting me down a bit, trying not to obsess. I do have a small lump to the back above my left ear which may or may not have been there before but its not painful in that spot exactly. Please help!

Headache at back of head - wisdom teeth? 've been having this really dull head-ache on and off for the last few weeks. It only lasts for 20 mins or so normally but it is recurring, some days I get it a few times, others just once. Its not sharp or stabbing pain, just pressure (I guess its more like a tension-headache) but it sometimes gets worse, wont shift and I take some ibuprofen tablets until it does. Often it goes without tablets though. The pain seems to make my teeth feel a little bit numb, as if its going down to my molars at the top of my mouth. Both molars have exposed holes in them due to cracking (i do have fillings and the dentist just told me to 'brush carefully...) but I'm wondering whether thats got something to do with the headaches? I can feel with my tongue that there is something trying to come through at the top back sides (particularly left) and although it doesn't feel that sore there in that location, my glands may be up a little (they're chronically flaring up though...) and i don't have much jaw pain fortunately, just the headcahes. So could my wisdom teeth be causing these headaches? and maybe the damage to the other teeth?

Headache In Back Of The Head? I sometimes get headaches and whenever I do they are in the back of my head. The pain is not debilitating. It's not by any means severe.

Pain in left upper back, head, and discomfort in chest? I've had a pain in my left upper back for a view days. I've been getting headaches really often since around Christmas (I don't think it's related), and now I've been having this weird feeling in my chest, but mostly the top of my ribs and around that area. It's this real airy kind of feeling and it's weird to breathe when it's happening. I can't really explain it. Oh! And when I lean forwards sometimes, it makes it harder to breathe. What could it be? Any ideas?

Why do I have headaches in the lower back of my head? It feels more like a pressure than an ache, but it's uncomfortable. It's not from excercise because, um, i haven't been excercising at all lately. Lol. I did go out and walk around an outdoor mall today and it was very hot, but this didn't start till much later in the day, so i don't think they're connected. It also seems to travel from the lower back to my temples and back again randomly. Any help?

What is this clicking noise in the back of my head? I can hear a clicking noise in my head (like if you put one fingernail under the other and flick upwards it makes a 'click' noise) Somewhere at the back of my head.. somewhere in the middle, more to the right than left. I think :/ It's like click quiet click quiet click quiet - quite fast. Like the pace of my walk. It only happens when i walk fast, which happens a lot as i'm usually running late for the bus. I also noticed it when i was jumping on the trampoline. I'm pretty sure it's not my jaw clicking and it doesn't sound like it's from my ear. Not because of a cold or flu and it doesn't hurt or cause me any headaches. It does make me wonder if anyone else can hear it though.. 2 questions: What is it? and Why does it make that noise? Thanks (: I'm 17 and a girl if that's any help. (wasn't sure about the category and sorry for these boring details)

Odd pressure in back of head? I've had this pain/pressure in the back of my head for two days. It's like someone is pushing on that area. Just last week I had an ear infection for three days. It cleared up. But this pain in my head isn't really overbearing. It doesn't wake me or anything. My nose is runny, and when I breath I feel an almost stinging sensation in my forehead.
