Headache can coincide with prolonged screen work, stress and neck discomfort. However, there are many types of headache, and pain around the neck does not prove that the neck is the cause.
Start with the pattern
Note when the headache occurs, its location, duration, associated symptoms and any change from your usual pattern. Regular meals, hydration, sleep consistency, screen breaks and gentle activity are reasonable basics for many people.
Assessment should come before treatment
A healthcare professional may ask about neurological symptoms, illness, injury, medication and blood pressure before considering a musculoskeletal contribution. Treatment should match the assessed headache type.
Urgent symptoms
Seek emergency care for a sudden explosive headache, headache after major injury, new weakness or confusion, seizure, fainting, fever with a stiff neck, new vision loss or other severe neurological symptoms.
