I have been having issues for a few days, my hears and nose feel blocked.

I have thick mucus with blood in it when blowing my nose firmly and when tilting my head back i get a sharp pain the the back of my head/upper neck on one side

I have been taking congestion tablets and ibuprofen for a few days but my symptoms persist.

hello phenix
These symptoms are probably because of nasal and sinus infection.headache occurs because of sinus infection and also decreased oxygen supply because of blocked nose.One thing you should keep in mind that dont blow your nose...Secondly see ENT specialist so that he can advice you radiological investigation and then antibiotics and decongestant and steroid sprays or oral steroids.
