Increased blood pressure, occipital neuralgia, to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

Symptoms you describe may be caused by conditions such as increased blood pressure, occipital neuralgia, tension type headache, etc.

Occipital neuralgia, tension type headache, should be improved by the acetaminophen cod use.

You should check your blood pressure and you should get evaluated by your primary care Doctor for your issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
