Headache: tightening in the back of the head can be manifestation of tension headache which is the most common type of headache. That is usually affecting both sides and can cause tenderness in the scalp and not aggravated by routine daily activities The smell of blood can be due to changes in smell, so, it’s worth seeing doctor for more advice
