The Pain Relief Site is Here to Help

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.

2. google it. I have gotten headaches all my life all over my head. Its not a cluster headache because cluster headaches are above the eyes and are called suicide headaches because they are supposed to be the most unbearable headache a human can have. They are really rare. If it feels like your head is being squeezed like in a vice it could be a tension headache. Sometimes pot will really irritate my tension headaches when I have them. Do you have back or neck problems? This can cause headaches in the back of the head from the muscles being pulled and strained in the neck. Do some research and maybe see a doctor. I get the back of the head headaches also, but I have not sought medical attention for them only my migraines
