Hello,

 

It's possible that this is muscle tension, but nobody can tell you via ther Internet. Unexplained head pain should always be checked out.  Please call your doctor?

 

Good luck,

Teri

I sometimes have a sensitive area at the base of my skull right in the center about where your spine and brain connect. I understand exactly what you are talking about and it is very painful.
