Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

You need to get checked for hypertension as high blood pressure may lead to such kind of pain. Other reason may be, this is a tension headache and you need to manage life's stresses and keep calm. Avoid strenuous physical activity until you get healthy.

Take Excedrin-Migraine and it will relieve the pain much. I preferably refer you to an internal medicine specialist and get checked your blood pressure and ask him also to refer you to a physical therapist with a script of therapy for the neck and shoulders. Physical therapy is necessary to relieve the pain in stiff muscles and to relieve the tension to much extent.
