have you had a neurologist do the 30 seconds hands on clinical diagnosis of occipitial neuralgia?

a trial of prescriptions and neck injected nerve blockers may rule out if you may be a candidate for? occipital nerve surgery. It has helped many with headaches due to the occipital nerve being inflamed.

any exercise that works the traps, or neck muscles may inflame that nerve due to the nearby muscles around that neck being involved.

slowly...tilting your head up or down, left or right, twisting left or right...if it can increase chances of headaches...can also be a possible indicator.

I can not do upright rows, overhead presses, and other certain neck movements without my occipital starting to flare up. (me not yet a candidate for the occipital nerve surgery)
