this might be occipital neuralgia, occipital nerves can be irritated or inflammed leading to this kind of headache, physical examination will yield tenderness around the occipital region that might even extend to the neck, conservative treatment is the main option, some brands of anti epilptic drugs might help in reliefing the pain. Please refer to neuorlogist for proper phyiscal examination and treatment options.
