A member asked:
Sometimes i feel my back head or top light tingling. not in my face, is a mini stroke or just pinch nerves ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occipital Neuralgia: Sounds like occipital neuralgia, so i would not be concerned with a mini-stroke. But to be sure you should be seen your doctor for further evaluation. The occipital nerves exit from the skull in the back of the head and then travel to the top of the head and end close to the forehead area, so you could have altered sensation or the tingling you described in these areas.
