headache in back of head

**dkoslo22** · 04-07-2010, 12:18 AM

anyone else ever get these weird pains? i usually get them on one side of my head

**collar** · 04-07-2010, 01:04 AM

hmm nope never have actually, but I would get it checked out.

Cause i know people complain of headaches on side or front of the forhead.

But never heard of back of head, so perhaps just get it checked to be on the safe side?

**calgarian** · 04-07-2010, 07:16 AM

back of the head in the middle it happenes to me when I am stressing out on something or doing something for really long period of time aka 16 hourse str8. In front it can be allergies and/or it can be sinus.

**terraj** · 04-07-2010, 07:20 AM

when do you get them?

Is it behind your eye?

**Hazard** · 04-07-2010, 07:21 AM

I don't want to scare you...... But I'll tell you anyways.

My boss has had severe headaches now for a couple years in the back of his head and sometimes it would shoot behind his eyeballs. He just found out yesterday that he has a golfball sized tumor on his brain that's pushing his brain stem into his spinal cord.

Ofcoarse this doesn't mean you have it lol but if these headaches persist..... They need to be addressed to try and find the underlying cause. If it us something bad..... The sooner you catch it - the better.

I get them on rare occasions also...a dull throbbing in the back of the head or near the base of the head where it meets your neck accompanied by a vague sense of nausea. Like others have mentioned though, it is a good idea to discuss it with your physician.

**dkoslo22** · 04-07-2010, 05:59 PM

Yeah iv been to the doctor about them before.. they say since i have no other symptoms other than the headache that there really isnt much to worry about right now (as far as brain cancer) plus i read that the headaches are constant and very severe.... my dont really hurt at all its just like a noticable feeling back there.. there on and off... plus im only 20 years old. but of course if it gets worse then i will go back to the doc.. just wanted to see if anyone else every experienced anything like this

Could be your thyroid, are you on GH?

**dkoslo22** · 04-07-2010, 06:07 PM

**OhioMuscle22** · 04-07-2010, 06:50 PM

I usually get some type of headache to. I mostly got them while on cycles. I wonder if it has anything to do with elevated BP while on a cycle. Idk though.

im thinking mine could be from that too maybe? The pain i get isnt a actual headache it feels differnt.. iv been in a car accident before and had pretty bad whip lash.. and i got my neck twisted pretty bad wrestling... but then again i have no idea what the actual cause is...

**PK-V** · 04-08-2010, 08:11 PM

80% of headaches are dehydration headaches

the brain is composed of 70% water

you've just been phil'd in!

I give free physicals...

**Mr.Rose** · 04-09-2010, 11:00 AM

Didnt DSM ever teach you to let it slide down your throat, if you thrust it down the back then it will do some damage.

i'm sure you have nothing to worry about... headaches can be from lots of stuff. inspired me to look up the video though...imo, one of arnold's best movies :-)

**Kibble** · 04-09-2010, 12:20 PM

I usually get them on the right side of my head. Following the headache is about an hour of blurred vision. I get these a few times a year. Then I start to feel like I am going to throw up. I scheduled an MRI, but I puss'd out. I was afraid that I would get bad news. I still need to go. Once it happens again I will get the MRI. OP, do not wait, just get it done. At least you will have peace of mind that everything is ok. Maybe it is just a type of migraine, in which medicine can be prescribed.

well, honestly mri's are completly useless for diagnosis and better treatment of headaches.

the only reason they are done is to rule out more serious problems...Brain tumor
Abscess (infection)
Hydrocephalus (the abnormal buildup of fluid in the brain)
Spinal cord problems, such as a herniated disc
Strokes
Injuries
lesions

Thats crazy... could just be migranes.. dosnt sound like anything too serious... brain tumors are constant pains that usually never go away.. and are very severe.. and accompanied by more symptoms

This is not entirely true.....

My boss's brain tumor is actually attached to his brain.... it's pushing his brainstem into his spinal cord..... and his headaches aren't constant. He actually feels normal 99% of the time. The only other symptom he's had was forgetting things he's already done. He'd goto the bank then go do something else..... then return to the bank again. He wouldn't even know unless the bank teller tells him he's already been there.....

**dkoslo22** · 04-09-2010, 04:43 PM

Wow thats pretty crazy.. guess i better just get mine checked out. Sucks cuz im young and i dont want to be having to worry about all this right now. Did brain cancer run in your boss's family?

Not that I know of..... we're pretty close and he's never mentioned it. Two members of his familly did have cancer..... just don't know what. He's only mid 40's and this whole thing snuck up on him in the last year. He's still waiting to see what can be done about it..... he's actually keeping in good spirits.....

It's not that I want to scare anyone..... headaches could be from a multitude of things. If the headaches are THAT bad..... I would definately get it checked out. At the very least...... peace of mind will keep you sane.

Yeah i got you.. exactally how bad was your boss's pain
My headaches are barley "headaches" there isnt really pain just like a sensation which is why i think it could be muscle related in the neck.. from either whiplash or a wrestling injury.. but then again i dont know and i dont want to self doctor... Im just a hypochondriac

Severe migranes......

He'd feel prety normal most of the time.... and then a killer headache would start.....

**dkoslo22** · 04-12-2010, 11:29 PM

got ya. well im glad mine are far from severe

**lovbyts** · 04-13-2010, 12:14 AM

I though you where going to the doctor? When you go please update the thread...

**Oriental Pharma** · 04-13-2010, 01:13 AM

Suggest taking mild analgesics first as a self-medication.

It depends on how long you've been experiencing the pain, whether it worsens and how it occurred.

If nothing helps, best to go for a complete medical check up. Money doesnt help much if you cant get yourself right you know.
