I have had a severe headache in the back of my head for 5-6 weeks now, pressure behind eyes and bridge of nose. Only way I don't feel it; is to lay down and sleep (can't do that all-day right) I have seen 2-ENT Doctors; now going to a neurologist? I was told I would need a MRI of my brain.

Hi,
Pain at the back of the head may be caused by tension of the neck muscles due to stress, eye problems, migraines, or a pathology in the brain. Please go for MRI of the brain and consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. Please ask your mother to keep herself free from stress, take adequate rest and go for regular gentle exercises. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
