Looking up at the tv or computer screen for a long period.
Tension, migraine, poor posture, muscle pain. nerve pain but rare at his age.Hypertension can cause headaches but also rare at his age.Does he play a lot of games where his arms and hands can cause pain in upper shoulder muscles and back of head. He would need checking if pains persist
