Hello,

It may be due to neuropathic pain or tension headache or occipital neuralgia etc. Use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once a day. Do neck exercises.

If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
