There are many reasons for a burst of pain in the right back of the head, such as external impact, brain trauma, intracranial disease, lack of sleep, etc. Generally speaking, sudden pain in the right back of the head may be caused by external impact, such as head impact, bump, etc. In addition, some physical diseases, such as brain diseases, such as brain tumors, arteriosclerosis, etc., cause head pain symptoms due to compression of blood vessels in the head. Spinal diseases, especially cervical vertebrae, are compressed and blood flow is blocked. It is also easy to cause a burst of pain in the back of the head. Head pain caused by general physical diseases is recommended to be treated promptly.
