A member asked:
Doing exercise sudden onset of pain in back of head and spasm of neck only lasted a couple of minutes then went no other symptons ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I suspect this: is related to muscle spasm. The most likely scenario is something strained your neck during exercise and due to the close connection between the muscles of the neck and the scalp, you experienced a sharp head pain. Not to worry. There are much more worrisome causes of posterior head pain related to the circulation and blood vessels. If it reoccurs, I would not hesitate to see a Doctor right away
