Constant headaches and dizziness
I have experienced occasional strong aches at the back of my head during stressful times since my teenage years (for example while preparing for exams) and in the past year they have become highly frequent, happening at least once a month on average and occasionally accompanied by a little dizziness that passes quickly. I work in a job that requires me to be on the computer for a minimum of 9 hrs a day more or less continuously, and have had a lot of mental and emotional strain as well during this past year.
In addition, I have also noted that if I wake up suddenly from sleep, there is a sharp headache at the back of my head accompanied by dizziness. In this case however, the dizziness is stronger than the headache and both last for up to only 5-6 minutes whereas the usual headaches last for an average of 30-40 mins and sometimes up to a maximum of 2 hours or so. It is always at the back of my head and has never come at the front. please advise on how to proceed.
