Stress Headaches originate in the back of the neck. The pain starts from the tendons at the side and extend till the back of the neck.

Question by clarinet123: How do you know when it’s the end of your tension headache?
For those of you who get tension headaches, can you please help! I can’t take this anymore! The headache isnt painful, and I’m very thankful for it but it is uncomfortable after a while! I’m not talking about normal headaches, I’m talking about a TENSION headache! Where everything in your head feels tight (it’s kind of hard to explain) but anyways, How do I know when it’s almost the end? I’ve had it for almost a week and a half and I’m just ready for it to be over! Also, if anyone knows any helpful relief tips please help! I’m 17 years old and just graduated from high school, I don’t want to be celebrating like this! Thanks in advance!

Also, I can’t afford to go to the doctor so if it doesnt need to be checked by the doctor then I want to keep it that way! But if you all think a trip to the doctor is needed then I’ll go but I’m sure it’s a tension headache! I awaken with it, my head feels tight, it kind of feels better in the shower, and it’s at it’s worse when I’m thinking about it! But it is kind of hard not to think about it!

Headaches are one of the most common occurrences in the adult population in North America and probably in the world. That probably isn’t a surprise considering how much stress and overworked we are. Headaches have an enormous impact on society due to missed workdays and the loss of productivity when one is dealing with the pain, resulting in huge costs over time for any employer.

“Headache” is usually described as an aching or pain that occurs in one or more areas of the head, face, mouth, or neck. Headaches can have many causes, but serious causes of headaches are rare, however, anyone suffering with a pattern of headaches should pay particular caution that the pattern does not change or become more frequent. This could signal the possibility of a more serious issue. A headache that becomes worse over time, say in a period of 6 months or possibly less depending on the severity of symptoms, especially if most prominent in the morning or if accompanied by neurological symptoms would warrant a call to your physician.

Question by Sloanfesta: Is there such a thing as chronic tension headache?
I have constant tension headache since I was a teenager. I am 34 now. There’s no serious pain, but it feels like a tight band is wrap around my head. I also feel like there is compression on the surface of my brain. It’s there all the time.

I’ve been to the doctor. Had an MRI. Came out normal. Was given muscle relaxants and other sedatives. Nothing worked.

Do you suffer from tension headaches? A hot tub may be your answer for relief. Hydrotherapy treatments can increase circulation to the muscles of the neck and head, relaxing them. Moist heat can decrease muscle spasm and hydrotherapy jets can soothe aching muscles.

Therapy Technique #1 – Get into the hot tub, turn the jets on as high as you can stand them. Place a cold, damp towel on the part of your head that’s most affected by the pain. If after five minutes the cold towel isn’t helping, alternate a cold and warm towel periodically to release muscle tension.
