Missed Periods Lasting a Week
Being worried about late periods is normal. Periods can get delayed because of stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Pregnancy or health conditions may also be reasons.

Possible Diagnosis for Severe Occipital Headache
You described severe pain hitting the back of your head with every heartbeat. Several factors might contribute.
- First, gas trapped in the body could cause gastric discomfort radiating upwards.
- Second, built-up earwax might trigger ear pain spreading to the head.
- Third, stress and strains from exams could manifest as tension headaches.
- Fourth, overheating due to excess body heat production could cause throbbing pain.
To address these potential causes: Walk after meals for better digestion and gas relief. Gently clean ears or seek professional ear wax removal. Practice relaxation, get ample sleep and find support for stress management. Stay hydrated and maintain balanced nutrition to regulate body temperature. However, if the intense hammering pain persists or worsens, promptly consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
