WHEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT TENSION HEADACHES:

You should see your GP if you get tension headaches several times a week, if they are severe, or if painkillers and relaxation techniques do not help. It’s also important to get medical advice if your headache is throbbing, affects the front or one side of your head, or is accompanied by sickness, vomiting, or sensitivity to light or noise, as these may suggest a different type of headache such as a migraine. Seek urgent help by calling 111 if a severe headache comes with symptoms like jaw pain, vision problems, a sore scalp, or weakness or numbness in the arms or legs. Call 999 or go to A&E immediately if you have a sudden, extremely painful headache, a head injury, confusion, loss of vision, difficulty speaking, or signs of meningitis.
