Headache when shaking the head may be related to cervical spondylosis, retropharyngeal tendonitis, penile lingual ligamentitis, cervicoglossal syndrome and so on. 1. Cervical spondylosis: when suffering from cervical disc herniation, the nerves innervating the head may be stimulated when the head is shaken, which may cause headache symptoms. 2. Posterior pharyngeal tendonitis: If you have posterior pharyngeal tendonitis, you may experience headaches when you move your head. 3. Strombohyoid ligamentitis: If you suffer from strombohyoid ligamentitis, it can lead to limited movement and headache when you move your head. 4. Cervicolingual syndrome: patients with cervicolingual syndrome turn their necks excessively when the stability of the upper cervical vertebrae is poor, resulting in atlantoaxial and cardinal semi-slip compression of the nerve roots, which can cause sharp pain in the occipital area and the root of the neck. It is recommended that people who suffer from pain when their head is shaken persistently without relief should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
