What will cause frequent headaches at the base of the skull (feels like pressure more than pain) and dizzyness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to see Dr: Headaches, or pressure, at the base of the skull associated with dizziness needs attention. Stress/tension is a frequent cause of occipital headaches but dizziness raises the possibility of a more serious cause. To be on the safe side I would advise seeing a physician.
