A person is capable of productive activity if he feels well and nothing bothers him. Well, if something constantly starts to hurt, I don’t want to do anything. The most common problem is when your head hurts. The back of the head is throbbing with pain and, as it were, “shooting.”
The relationship of headaches with vertebral pathologies
Often painful sensations pass to the neck. There are a number of reasons that cause such feelings, and it is very important to establish the true one in order to be able to get rid of the problem. Self-medication can only do harm, so the best solution would be to go to the hospital.
When the head (nape) is very sore , it is worth paying attention first of all to the cervical spine. It is highly likely that spondylitis or osteochondrosis is to blame. These diseases are characterized by pain in the neck, in the back of the skull, and with any slight turn or tilt of the head, these unpleasant sensations only intensify.
Noise in ears
People affected by osteochondrosis feel a headache in the back of the head left and right, and is often accompanied by tinnitus, a pale complexion, and nausea. Impaired coordination and double vision are constant companions of patients with osteochondrosis. These people can easily lose consciousness if they show carelessness and sharply throw their heads back.
The head, back of the head also hurts if a person suffers from neuralgia of the occipital nerve. In this situation, bouts of pain in the back of the head will usually spread to the ears, lower jaw, and neck. A cough and a sharp turn of the head will aggravate these unpleasant sensations. And the cause of this is often spondylarthrosis (a type of catarrhal disease). If we are talking about arterial hypertension, then pain sensations manifest themselves mainly in the mornings.
It is also worth mentioning such a formidable disease as spondylosis. People affected by this scourge also have a headache (neck in particular). What is it like? At the edges of the vertebrae, pointed osteophytes are formed that are capable of irritating nerve endings.
The mobility of the neck is greatly limited, and the pain radiates to the eyes and ears. This ailment is mainly common in the elderly, but it can also develop in relatively young people who lead a sedentary and passive lifestyle.

In this case, the head (neck), shoulders also hurt, dizziness occurs. These pains can occur with severe mental stress and stress, especially in women.
Well, it should also be said about such an ailment as cervical migraine. It is also capable of causing occipital pain and oppression in the temples. Sometimes these symptoms can go to the superciliary region of the head. Pain in the eyes, hearing loss, and dizziness should make you seek the help of a doctor.
