I keep on having strange headaches, but my head doesn't actually hurt per say more a strange feeling in the back of my head. I feel like I am in a fog, almost like I am drunk and a little nautious (msp). My balance is even thrown off a little. Does anyone know what this might be?

Get your atlas checked out. Sounds like it may be what I had for 4 yrs. A displaced atlas (c-1) can cause pressure in back of head which may spread ro face like mine did after a while. Some chiros can replace it...or btter yet a p.t. can do it manually..gently...let me know.

I am new here, but read all the time. You folks have the best information.
I have had a headache for around 1.5 years. I think they are cervical in origin, but have not confirmed that(although I have tried through countless dr.s & specialists - the last of which was this morning -one of the best neurosurgeons in MD. Anyway, most of the time my headaches are like a headband or rams horn pattern - with the pain being diffuse in head - sharp in the eyebones and temples, sometimes its bad around the occipital and neck is usually stiff.
Last year, I started getting these weird headaches like a hangover with dull malaise and lasting a LONG time all day and wake up with it. They subsided, the cervical stayed... the last 2 days the hangover headache is BACK. I also get alot of gas with them. I yawn constantly and my eyes burn.
If anyone out there can help with this please respond. I was going out of my mind with the other headaches, but these are ready to do me in. I'm crying thru my Prozac - which is really hard to do.
thanks for listening. and sorry to martinifreak - I would love to help you. Please let me hear from you if you have gotten any help.

This almost exactly describes the symptoms I've been having for almost 3 months now. Except I don't have the nausea. I would describe the headaches as more pressure than pain. The fog-feeling is the worst though. Have you been to a doctor yet?
