What is the cause of frequent pain in the back of the head

Frequent pain in the back of the head may be caused by physiological reasons, such as high mental tension. It may also be caused by pathological reasons, such as high blood pressure, cervical muscle fasciitis or intracranial tumors, etc. You should consult a doctor in time to find out the cause of the pain. 1. Physiological causes: pain may occur when there is a high degree of mental tension or when there is wind, cold, pressure, etc., and the symptoms can be relieved after sufficient rest. 2. Pathological causes (1) Hypertension: Hypertension is one of the most common causes of pain in the back of the head, when the blood pressure rises, it will cause spasm of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in pain in the back of the head, controlling the blood pressure can effectively relieve the symptoms. (2) Fasciitis of the cervical muscle: Fasciitis of the cervical muscle, especially for long-term low head workers, often occurs cervical fasciitis of the occipital large neck muscles, resulting in symptoms of pain in the back of the head. Fasciitis can be treated by medication, such as ibuprofen, eszopiclone, amitriptyline, fluoxetine hydrochloride, etc. If the effect of medication is unsatisfactory, surgical treatment can be considered. (3) Intracranial tumor: When the intracranial tumor is too large, resulting in increased intracranial pressure, it will cause the patient to feel pain in the back of the head. It needs to be clearly diagnosed through brain CT or brain MRI, and then the tumor should be removed through surgery. If physiological causes are ruled out, the patient should consult a doctor in time to clarify the specific cause, and if necessary, appropriate treatment should be carried out.
