Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pressure over the base of the head may be due to cervical muscle spasm or occipital neuralgia or tension headache or raised intracranial pressure, etc. Avoid head end elevation during sleeping, use water vapor inhalation and cold compression. Use muscle relaxant, do yoga, and meditation.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
