i get headaches alot. i think its from not getting enough sleep because i usually get them when i don;t have a full nights sleep or when i am really tired. i also get them if i take a nap, it doesn’t even have to be a long nap maybe 20-30 minutes and i’ll get a headache. i always have nausea along with it. what kind of headache do u think it is? i take excedrin for migraines and it never fails. i only tried it because regular tylenol doesnt help.. but everytime i take it my headache and nausea goes away.

but i was searching online and my symptoms seem to be of tension headaches because i do get them from a lack of sleep..

Nearly everyone has had a headache. But, there are some people that have learned how to eliminate them and during the year they might have one or two. Most of these headaches are usually related to stress, depression or anxiety. The most common type of headache is a tension headache. Tension headaches are due to tightening of muscles in your shoulders, neck, scalp and jaw. You are most likely to get tension headaches if you work too much, don’t get enough sleep, miss meals or use of alcohol.

Very few headaches have serious underlying causes, but those that do require urgent medical attention. For example, a severe headache may be a sign of meningitis. Then there are the most common headaches in women – the migraine headaches. Migraines can originate from some brain disorder, from neck vertebrae shifting, or from anxiety. In elderly people, a headache with tenderness of the scalp or temple may be due to temporal arthritis, in which blood vessels in the head become inflamed.

What is a Tension Headache: Tension Headaches are the most common type of headaches. Nearly everyone will have at least one tension headache in their lifetime.

What is a Migraine Headache: Migraine headaches are a form of headache, usually very intense and disabling. It is a neurologic disease of neuronal origin. The word “migraine” comes from the Greek word ‘hemikranion’ which means (pain affecting one side of the head).

What causes Tension Headache: The exact cause of tension headaches is still unknown. It has long been believed that they are caused by muscle tension around the head and neck. However although muscle tension may be involved, there are many forms of tension headaches and some scientists now believe there is not one single cause for this type of headache. One of the theories is that the pain may be caused by a malfunctioning pain filter which is located in the brain stem. The view is that the brain misinterprets information, for example from the temporal muscle or other muscles, and interprets this signal as pain. One of the main molecules which is probably involved is serotonin. Evidence for this theory comes from the fact that tension headaches may be successfully treated with certain antidepressants. Another theory says that the main cause for tension type headaches and migraine is teeth clenching which causes a chronic contraction of the temporalis muscle.

I really want to get my first tattoo on the back of my neck but i have daily headaches. I have been getting treated by a neurologist and have been diagnosed with chronic tension headaches, frequent migraines. I also have very tight muscles in my neck and back that i get a massage for every week. I’m on a few different medicines to try to treat my horrible daily headaches, but nothing has been seeming to work. I recently starting getting steroid/cortisone shots into the area around my occipital nerve (back of my neck).

With my history of headaches and neck/muscle problems would it be a bad idea to get my tattoo on the back of my neck?

Anytime you suffer from a tension headache, you know how difficult it can be. Tension headaches as well as migraines can be so severe that they become disabling, even to the point that you are no longer able to participate in regular daily activities or work as you normally would. In that situation it is important to have a medication you can rely upon, such as Fioricet, to relieve the pain.

Fioricet is a type of medication which is actually a combination of three different medications. Those medications are acetaminophen, caffeine and butalbital. This medication is most commonly used for the treatment of extreme headaches which are typically caused by muscle contractions that are extremely intense; otherwise known as tension headaches. Migraines are also commonly treated using this medication.
