Headaches, Bad posture, stiffness
Having headaches and stiff shoulders and neck for the past 2-3 years.
Frequency is less when doing work and more when I am idle at home doing nothing.
Headaches mostly at the back and sometimes at the sides and forehead.
I am myopic [-5.5] and no other condition.
Family member has diabetes type 2.
Bad posture, low physical activity. Habit of keeping shoulders bent forward and relaxed like when you sit. Usually prefer lying down than sitting. Use a little high pillow. Sleep on my sides. I hit my head once while a child at my back of head.
Also sometimes I feel sensitive to light and it becomes difficult to concentrate
especially on screens. Work with computers.
