Tag: Tension Headache

A tension headache is a common type of headache characterized by a mild to moderate, dull, and persistent pain that feels like a tight band around the head. It is often caused by muscle tension and stress, leading to discomfort in the head, neck, and shoulders. Tension headaches are not typically accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea or sensitivity to light and sound. They can be triggered by factors like stress, poor posture, eye strain, or lack of sleep. Managing tension headaches may involve relaxation techniques, pain relievers, and addressing underlying stress or lifestyle factors.
