What Causes A Constant And Dull Head Pain?

I have had a dull, constant pain in the back of my head, on the right side just above my neck. It is sensitive to the touch and feels like I hit my head at some point but I didn t. I ve had this for a couple of months. Should I be concerned? Should I see my dr.? I m 41, 5 7 , 185lb female, non-smoker. Only on-going medical issues are hypo-thyroidism and pernicious anemia which are under control.

Hi,

Read your complaints. dull constant pain in the head can be due to various reasons. first of all try to focus on your posture. when you are at work try to maintain an erect posture.even while sleeping you should try to sleep straight using a low lying pillow.

have a good sleep - 7-8 hours and be relaxed. do some mild exercises especially neck muscle stretching exercises. you can even take some painkiller if needed.

However if you feel you are not improving then you need to get yourself investigated. get any eye check-up done and also imaging ( MRI )brain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Milinda Gupta
