Who knows that basics of tension headaches?

Okay, this morning I woke up with a tension headache. Uncomfortable and painful. Does anyone here know the basics of a tension headache? Like how it happens, what happens on the inside of your head (if anything does) and what are some ways to get rid of it? I don’t want to constantly drug myslef with tylenol or excederin. Thanks.

Answer #1

How often are you getting “Tension” headaches? Are you certain that they are not migraines? If you have not been in a stressful situation ie work, a noisy environment, harsh conditions, cramming for a test etc. Then you should not have a tension headache.

Gentle massage can often relieve tension headaches, as can a cold compress, meditation and relaxation. A soothing herbal tea may help as well. Relaxation is the key to ridding yourself of a tension headache, but if it is something else you may need medication, You should consult your Doctor if the problem persists for more than two days.
