See Below: Is this a new symptom or something you've experienced before? In any case, consult with your primary care doctor to find out what's going onl. Meanwhile, it never hurts to practice stress management, relaxation, establish self-care routine. It would help you cope with whatever comes your way. Good luck!

Could Be Neck Issues: If preliminary evaluation by your primary doctor doesn't help, consider evaluation of your neck to make sure nothing is awry there. Many times the facet joints in the neck or even herniated disks could be a cause of this issue in the back of head.
