Pain in my head

[moena123]

Hi

I would like to know if someone could help me, I've had pain in my lower head (where the cerebellum) is and two nights ago i woke up with my body stiff and i could move, when i eventually moved my head i got this pain like someone was pressing it hard. In the last two weeks i would be awake and not tired at all but when i sit still i just fall asleep. could you please tell me if something is wrong?

Hi

Thank You very much. i thought it was of the wrong posture during sleep but my doctor said it could be stress which i doubt because none of the tablets that he gave me helped. i'm experiencing the same pain but more severe and have pain in my upper body.

i'm scheduled to see a neurologist, hope maybe this could give an indication on what causes these headaches. I'm a bit afraid that something is really wrong, could you give me an indication to what the neurologist would do if possible because it's my first visit.

Thank you

I wasn't aware that the thyroid can cause headaches. I have Hashimoto's and recurring headaches. I knew that my headaches could be caused by hormonal fluctuations, but I didn't connect that it could be from my thyroid. That makes  lot of sense! I think I am going to be sure to talk to my doctor about it the next time I see her. I'm glad I read this post.

Hi!
You could be suffering from some sleep disorder, or severe anemia or a thyroid disorder or pinched nerves in the neck or from benign intracranial hypertension. It could also be wrong posture during sleep.
Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net please consult your doctor regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care!
