I suffer regularly from headaches and migraines, sometimes these migraines will spread to my neck and even my back. Lately though I have felt a cold/freezing/numb sensation at the back of my head, mostly when Im laying down and stand up. Ive had anemia before and I know one of my symptoms was loosing my vision momentarily when I got up from bed/laying down too quickly or in a rash manner but this isnt the case. What can cause this cold sensation, what does it mean?
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms (cold sensation or freezing to the back of your head) could be related to occipital nerve irritation. I would recommend consulting with your doctor and performing some tests
