Back Head Pain.
While sleeping yesterday I felt a sensation of back head pain. It was not very painful but when I woke up in the morning I felt restless I couldn't wake up because this sensation had increased. If I shake my head I can feel the pain at the lower back of my head. Is this Occipital Neuralgia? What can I do because when I walk I can feel that pain and so it's making me to sleep on the bed only.
