A member asked:

Whenever i bend forward, the back of my head hurts and i thought it cannot be sinus as this is the back of my head?

Well : Usually not sinuses you're correct there in the front of your face. Can be muscle strain muscle tension headache or other things. If severe going to emergency room otherwise consult primary care doctor in person for specific diagnosis and treatment
