A member asked:
My upper left greater occipital nerve tingles it feels like bugs walk, it happens when i got high bp or tension or stetch my head,no other symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occipital nerve: That occipital nerve may be impinged upon by muscle tension or a spur as it exits the spine at the neck level. This generally causes Sharp pain but in your case milder irritability may occur. An X-Ray of the neck may show a spur or abnormal curvature. Lifestyle changes and medication can control blood pressure and stress management therapy is helpful for chronic stress. Discuss with your physician
