instruction: hello doctor I have a headache in my upper part of the head I do not know if it is connected with my neck because I had stiff neck due to my sleeping position well I lay down to bed most of the time due to quarantine and after I had that stiff neck I had this it is not actually a headache I guess it is like irritation in my upper head I do not know if it should be treated with a pain reliever as it is not that severe I did not take it
