Trying it today.

Hi Sharon. Thee are a number of different causes of headaches as you can see from the article above. The headache you are describing may be linked to neck and upper back muscle spasm (yes, psychological stress is one possible cause as these muscles tense with stress) but it can also be linked to poor posture and a pinched nerve in the upper vertebrae (cervical vertebrae). These are some of the possible causes and there is no way of saying for sure without further diagnostic investigation. It may be advisable to consult with a specialist like a neurologist for further assessment.

It’s lower on the base of my head. It has woken me in the middle of the night, to just start hurting during the day. Thought it was my pillow! Tried many pillows and even made myself one that I love! Still have that headache everyday! Everyone tells me it’s stress! I had a physical before this started and besides being tired all the time everything is good! This is driving me crazy!

It made me feel a bit lightheaded and faint as well
Afterwards the vertigo went ago and I got a bad sore throat for 3 days and inflamed sinuses.
Then my head in the back started hurting along with my neck. It was also a numb tingly dull achy sort of headache that was ongoing
I ended up in the ER feeling unwell shaky, shivering, faint feeling and the doc said I have a virus and the headache could be a sinus headache. But last week the CT scan didn’t show thickening of the mucus.
Now I have thick green mucus and a heavy feeling in throat.
And for 3 days now every time I try to fall asleep I wake up and feel numbness pins and needle feeling in the back of my head. I couldn’t sleep for 2 days. Then I tried laying on my back in between two pillows and was able to sleep though I woke up a few times with the same feeling
Sometimes my fingers, toes even arms and legs go numb.
Usually it’s when lying down.
The headache and neck pain have gradually subsided but the numbness when sleeping has not. It’s been 3 days now.
Is this all caused by sinusitus? Or the virus?

Then I had a horrible dull aching headache in the back of my head. My neck hurt as well. I ended up in the emergency because I would feel bad and my hands, feet would get numb and I would start trembling/shaking.
Doc said it’s a virus and my head pain could be a sinus headache.
The headache gradually subsided.
Recently for 3 days every time I try to fall asleep, I wake up with my head feeling numb and tingly and sometimes my fingers and feet, even arm and leg would go numb/pins and needles.
I tried a different position and slept through the whole night but now it still comes up. I can’t sleep at all on my belly.
Is this due to the sinus inflammation? I have thick green mucus as well but a week ago my ct scan showed no thickening of mucus in sinuses.
It seems to get worse when laying down.
What can the head numbness be from?

Hi Bluefootdown. It is not advisable to leave a month long headache unattended. Most headaches are due to muscle strain, usually of the head, neck and upper back. You should see a doctor because sometimes headaches are due to other causes apart from muscle strain. It could be related to your menstrual cycle, anemia and so on which is common in your age group. This could even be migraines. The only way to know for sure is to consult with a doctor.

I find that I often can’t concentrate on work, and I have been feeling very tired lately. my sleep isn’t broken by my headaches or anything, however I do feel like I’m not sleeping enough, and am often drowsy. I’m sixteen, and female. I should mention also that although this type of headache has mainly occurred within the past month or so, I have experienced it before, (though I can’t remember a specific time it started). but it was so rare that I assumed I was just a bit under the weather. now it is happening several times a day and has become a massive concern. I’ve not been to the doctors yet and I always try not to take any painkillers unless the situation is critical.

Hi Paggs. Difficult to say for sure. It could be one of the tendons that attaches to this area which may be strained. But there are other possibilities like mastoiditis. It is advisable that you consult with your doctor. Hopefully it is nothing serious but the only way to know for sure is to have it assessed by a medical professional.
