What are these headaches?!


Question: What are these headaches?
For years I had pain off and on ,on one side of my head.Although it was very painful it was something I could deal with.Now I am having pain in the back of my head after going to bed and after a few hours sleep.The pain is almost unberable.I ask my doctor about cluster headaches and she said I doubt it because 99% of the time it happens to men.What could these headaches be coming from ?

well it could be migraine or tension headache,tension headaches feel like a tight band squeezing on your head

migraines are very painful,one sided and you may have an aversion to bright light and feel sick

you may be sleeping awkwardly or you may still be tired or your eyes may need testing for glasses

go back to your dr or another for a second opinion
cluster headaches are generally seen in men but its not impossible in a woman

best wishes



The pains are coming from your neck muscles for they go to the top of your head and are pretty much across the back of your head. When the muscles are tight you will feel them there and to get rid of the pain you have to free up your neck muscles and here's how to do that:
Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
