Hello !
I read your question and understand your concern.
Headache in the back side of the head is not a special symptom, related mainly to muscular contractions in this region. But the most concerning thing is the progressive aggravation , the bleeding nose and the troubles with your vision.
I would recommend you to consult with a neurologist, have a good neurological examination, a full blood work and a head CT scan , to rule out any possible lesions inside the brain, like an intracranial hemorrhage etc.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
