Hi, I saw your explanation about your problem. It's good to know you do regular exercises at the age of 69 and keeps your self fit and healthy. Now to talk about your pain at the base of skull. It can be related to upper cervical spine issue also. But here you have mention that it has increase from past few days and have become more severe till the center of your skull. In your case I suggest you to visit a euro physician and take MRI or ct scan of brain as per euro doctor suggestion. Here we need to rule out there is no internal issues. Once if your report comes normal then you can follow spinal strengthening exercises suggested by physio as well do yoga and Panama as well practice relaxation in a daily basis. Also keep checking on your blood pressure because many times due to high blood pressure also similar symptoms are possible what you have. I suggest following all above advice, and I am sure it will be useful for you. Take care.
