The back of my head is throbbing. What's going on?

The throbbing sensation in the back of the head is most common in localized neuralgia. This is a symptom of nerve stimulation caused by infection, cold, local nerve compression, or traction. Normal manifestations are episodic needle-like or electric-shock-like pain. Some patients may also show burning pain or hyperalgesia. Severe patients may show persistent pain. Patients with neuralgia can be given vitamin B1 and mecobalamin to nourish the nerves. For patients with severe pain, Fenbid or pregabalin can be given to relieve pain. It is also necessary to look for local triggers such as infection. Migraine headaches can also cause throbbing sensation in the back of the head. This is a chronic pain. Normal manifestations are continuous throbbing pain, which beats at the same frequency as the heartbeat. The pain lasts for a long time and can last for hours to days. Migraine attacks can be triggered by stress, overwork, and irritant foods such as alcohol, chocolate, and coffee. Elevated blood pressure and cervical spondylosis can compress nerve roots and can also show a throbbing sensation in the back of the head.
