Question
A 16-year-old adolescent frequently experiences pain in the upper back of the head, even after sleep. The adolescent has a habit of bending over while doing homework, and recently, the pain has intensified to the point where it is difficult to lift the head. What could be the possible causes of this situation?
Answer
Based on the description, the pain in the upper back of a 16-year-old’s head may be due to academic stress and mental pressure. However, it cannot be ruled out that it may be caused by encephalitis or other organic diseases. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for an EEG examination and blood pressure test to rule out other potential issues. If the test results are normal, it may be related to insufficient rest. It is encouraged to increase rest time, participate in outdoor activities, alleviate study stress, and consider using neural regulation medications to relieve symptoms.
