pressure and pain in back of my head just above my neck

Hi there! If you are using a computer, microscope or are in the same position for a long time, it may lead to pain in back of the head. Even sleeping in an abnormal position may cause pain in back of the head. Cold climate may also lead to pain in back of the head. When you are under tension or stress the muscles in the back of the head tense up. This may be due to lack of enough sleep, overworking, missing your meals, alcohol or drug abuse. Many times the food that we eat triggers pain in back of the head. These foods include chocolate, cheese and food enhancer like mono-sodium glutamate. You could talk to your doctor about it.
