Afternoon headaches

2018-09-23 07:39:41
I have been having daily afternoon headaches since quite sometime now. They usually last 30 minutes, or till I take a nap. They are not severe but they happen every single day in the post lunch session. If i get someone to press the area around my ears for 5 minutes, I feel fresh afterwards. What could this be?

There isn't sufficient details to give you a specific diagnosis. There are multiple causes for headaches. I would advise you to visit a neurologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as thyroid profile, CBC, CT(if indicated) so as to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.
Next Steps
Follow the steps as advised
Health Tips
If condition persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest
