What Causes Nausea, Dizziness And Pain In The Back Of The Head?
I m having an headache in the back of my head only, like someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat. Also feeling nauseous & dizzy, like I might faint. Started about 2 weeks ago, never had headaches prior to this. Dr. Appt scheduled for Nov 1st. Took Excedrin a few hours ago and hoping it goes away, still waiting.

Hi,
It would be best, as you are doing, to see someone regarding your headaches particularly since you do not usually have headaches.
Though the cause may not be serious (serious causes are the least common reason for symptoms), physical assessment and imaging such as CT or MRI, may be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
