The first condition, which may be caused by tension headache, often presents occipital pain, which is dull in nature and not particularly severe, but gives the patient a very uncomfortable feeling, mainly due to prolonged contraction of the neck and posterior occipital muscle fascia, ischemia, and hypoxia; the second condition may also be greater occipital neuralgia, which often presents posterior occipital pain; Third, pay attention to whether the patient has meningeal irritation sign, if it shows some light subarachnoid hemorrhage, viral meningitis, may also show pain in the posterior occipital region.
