generalised pain in head but sever in base of skull and neck. cannot support the head in a manner that eases the pain. moving the head even gently causing more intense pain. applying pressure to back of neck where i believe muscles are not affecting the pain, pain feels deeper and more central, as in not on the surface
Thank you for your question on HCM.Sir/Madam,From the information that you have providedt is a little difficult to come to a diagnosis,because  i would like to know if the pain you are experiencing is associated with any nausea,if this pain increases on exposure to sound or light.this would suggest a possiblity of migraine.but right now i would suggest that you get your eyes checked and also get a radiograph of your neck so that we can rule out the possibility of any spondylitis.You can try sleeping without a pillow at night in order to ease your pain,and also do some hot compression.I hope this information was helpful.Do get back to me for further queries.regards,Dr.Radhika
