Hello, Suggestive of occipital neuralgia. It develops when there’s pressure or irritation to your occipital nerves (nerves that exit near the base of the skull) because of an injury, tight muscles that entrap the nerves, or inflammation. You need to consult your doctor for proper clinical evaluation and to carry out certain lab tests to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile: 1. Apply heat to your neck. 2. Rest in a quiet room. 3. Massage tight and painful neck muscles. 4. Take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, like Naproxen or Ibuprofen. If those don’t help, your doctor may prescribe medications like gabapentin or carbamazepine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regard, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
