The back of my head really starts to hurt when there is little pressure on it such as lying on a pillow. this came on very sudden should i be worried?

Vague: A thorough history and exam are needed to try and determine the severity of your problem. Has this happened before, does the pain last long or come and go, what do you do prior to laying your head on the pillow. I would see a dr. If this persists.
