A member asked:
What type of headache can be a pounding pain on top of head or in back of the head. mostly in back but does not go to neck. moving makes it worse.

How frequent??: Does not sound serious but if it is occurring frequently I would have it checked out. Most likely causes are migraine versus tension headache.
