A member asked:
Can high cholesterol cause headaches on the back of the head?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
How high? High cholesterol by itself is asymptomatic. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

No, high cholesterol would not cause head or neck pain. Seeing your doc for an exam and detailed history would be best in order to sort it out.
