Your symptoms seem to be related to occipital neuralgia. Occipital neuralgia is a condition in which the nerves that run from the top of the spinal cord up through the scalp, called the occipital nerves, are inflamed. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a Dy. If the symptoms continue, I suggest seeing a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.
