What Causes Numbness On Right Side Of Head And Pain Behind Neck?

Hi I have been experiencing numbness on right side of my head and pain behind the neck on left side that is spreading to left side of my head. Is it serious? I have had head aches before and I eat synflex to relieve the pain. I took one pill today and it did not work.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a cervical radiculopathy or a pinched nerve.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest to maintain the area immobilized to prevent further damage.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
