What should I do if I have a headache at the back of my head?

First, seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause of pain at the back of the head. Conditions such as headaches, stroke, hypertension, cerebral infarction, or head trauma may all lead to occipital pain. Second, if the pain is caused by conditions like headache, stroke, hypertension, or cerebral infarction, follow your doctor's advice to take anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, or anticoagulant medications to relieve pain and ensure timely treatment. If the pain results from head trauma, follow medical guidance to promptly take anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation in the head and alleviate pain. Additionally, traditional Chinese therapies such as steam compresses, warm compresses, or cupping may be used to help relieve pain, but care should be taken not to overuse them and risk worsening symptoms. Finally, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise, eating plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, maintaining a positive mood, and reducing mental stress, to avoid exacerbating the condition.
