Dear Patient,
It sounds like you're experiencing continuous headaches at the back of your head with a stabbing pain and sleepy eyes. There are several possible causes for these symptoms:
Possible Causes:
Tension Headaches: Often caused by stress, poor posture, or muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, leading to pain at the back of the head.
Eye Strain: Prolonged use of screens or uncorrected vision problems can cause eye strain, leading to headaches.
Migraine: Some migraines cause pain at the back of the head, with symptoms like sensitivity to light and the need to sleep.
Cervicogenic Headache: Pain originating from the neck can radiate to the back of the head, often worsened by movement or posture.
Next Steps
Rest and hydrate: Ensure you're staying hydrated and getting proper rest. Check your posture: Be mindful of your sitting position, especially if you work at a desk. Manage screen time: Take regular breaks if you're spending long hours in front of a screen. Over-the-counter pain relief: If necessary, you can take medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen (if suitable for you). If the headache persists or worsens, you should consult a doctor for a more detailed evaluation. If you can't visit in person, you can use telehealth platforms like Practo for further guidance.
