[|Human|] I am having pain in the back of my head at the base of my head. The pain is so severe it wakes me up at night. I use a bi Pap machine at night and when I put the mask on that is wrapped around my head it seems to get worse. My email address is YYYY@YYYY Thank you
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms could be related to occipital neuralgia. You should know that the occipital nerve lye in this region. Their compression from the CPAP machine or an uncomfortable pillow can lead to this type of headache. But, this is not a life threatening disorder. I would just recommend using an orthopedic pillow and maybe choosing another type of CPAP machine, which does not cause compression in this region. Ibuprofen or Indomethacine can help for the pain too. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
