What is a Tension Headache? | Ausmed Explains...

What is a Tension Headache?
The most common type of headache across the general population is a tension headache. They can be infrequent, episodic or chronic.
Tension headaches are not usually severe enough to interfere with activities of daily living and are frequently described as dull, aching, diffuse, non-descript headaches that occur in a hat band distribution around the head.
They are not associated with nausea, vomiting or made worse by activity.

For me, I had a really bad migraine, I couldn’t sleep properly and it was 3 in the morning, all I could think of was this dream that I had, I was in a laboratory and they were testing me out, I tried to sleep, but it kept on getting worse, I felt like I was about to vomit, the only way to get rid of the headaches for me was to drink Panadol, I hate Panadol because I always gag when I feel tne texture

I think I have this. It isn't very painful at all, its just there. I doesn't seem to go away and I think its only being prolonged due to my stress over it. I'm fine, I'm just annoyed and can't shake it. It leaves temporarily but comes back fairly quickly. Again it isn't painful at all though.

[@DrSoapHippo]

I have the exact same thing did it ever go away? It’s been 6 days so far and I also am stressing because I don’t know what it is. It is in one spot on the back of my head I just hope it’s nothing too serious

[@foxc8646]

@@DrSoapHippohi I have one for days now, please how did you help yours

[@DrSoapHippo]

@@foxc8646 I figured it out finnaly after 2 weeks. Get a tooth brush and firmly tap it against the back of your head in a line all the way across. Use the back of the tooth brush to tap multiple times a second and slowly do that all the way across your head back and fourth and mine went away. I guess it gets the blood flowing in the area. Let me know if it works for you

[@tarunsuthar7427]

I get it when I focus on reading or studying.

How long did u have it for

[@andrewlovato4785]

Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm a 19 year old college student. I have been battling daily headaches and muscle tension for over a year. I have tried everything from brain scans to allergy testing to chiropractor. I'm currently trying Atlas Orthogonal. I've had maybe 4 adjustments done and haven't received any relief. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know. Thank you so much.
