Dear doctor,
I suspect I get a cervicogenic headache. Here are some symptoms:
1) headache around a circle region above ear
2) bad sleep quality
3) poor memory
4) great pain around neck and back
How could I confirm if this is a cervicogenic headache?
I have been suffering such headache for a month. I really need your help. Thanks in advance.

The symptoms you describe can be attributed to any one of many different types of headaches. Your headache can be a primary or secondary headache. A cervicogenic headache is a secondary type headache. It is caused by some other underlying problem. Cervicogenic headaches usually come from a cervical spin problem, You should consult a doctor or neurologist to first determine what kind of headache you have, Cervicogenic headaches can be determined using nerve blocks to find the source of the problem.

As cervicogenic headache is mainly due to cervical spine related problem and its component bony or soft tissue component.
However the pain that you are experiencing can be due to stress related problem too..

-Can you please specify your age and any previous medical history?
Please revert back so that I can guide you better.
