What Causes Recurring Buzzing Sensation In Head And Headache?
Question: Hi for the last few weeks I have a buzzing sensation in my head on and off all day at the back of my head also a headache at the back of my head
Brief Answer:
Blood pressure monitoring first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
One of the most possible conditions that may cause your symptoms is high blood pressure in its first stages. ( diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg ).
Another possible condition that may cause headaches and buzzing sensation on back of the head is occipital neuralgia, or damaged/compressed upper cervical nerves that supply back and top of the head.
It is necessary to be evaluated by your primary care Doctor about changes in blood pressure ( Holter monitoring ).
It is also necessary for imaging studies of your cervical spine and head in case of normal, or near normal blood pressure values, in order to assess secondary causes of your symptoms such arthritis of the upper cervical spine etc. that may be related to occipital neuralgia.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
