Yes: 20's female asks if "occipital" bone sites of tendon insertion become pained with forward head tilt, ; the answer is yes. Her "dizziness" can also accompany occipital nerve impingement within spastic superior trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles during their contractions. Undoubtedly she has learned medical jargon about this from having seen a doctor, and if she has not then she should.

Occipital pain: It sounds like you're informing us of some symptoms you're experiencing . . . But you haven't asked a specific question. If i were in your place, i would see my physician for an evaluation asap.
