Any visual problems: Some times occipital backpain could be related to visual strain. But cervical problems and brain stem lesions can cause that type of headache. Hence you will need evaluation to rule out any focal motor or sensory deficits and eye exam.

See a DO: Have an osteopathic physician examines your spinal structure, and make sure that your neck is in proper alignment. This can often be seen, when the neck has a tight area on it. This can easily be treated, remedied, or worked up further.
