HEADACHE (TENSION HEADACHE):
Tension headaches are very common and most people get them. You can treat them yourself with painkillers but see a GP if you have several headaches a week or they're severe.
Common symptoms of tension headaches include:
• Pain on both sides of your head, face or neck
• Feeling like something is pressing on your head or being tightened around it
• The affected area may feel tender and your head may hurt more when touched
You should be able to continue doing daily activities without making the headache worse.
Tension headaches last at least 30 minutes but they can last much longer, sometimes for several days.
Common causes of tension headaches include:
• Stress
• Sleep problems
• Caffeine
Taking painkillers for headaches too often or for a long time can also cause headaches. These are known as overuse or rebound headaches.
Tension headaches are not a sign of an underlying condition.
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE FOR A HEADACHE:
• You get headaches several times a week or they're severe
• Painkillers and activities to help you relax do not help your headaches
• You have a throbbing pain at the front or on 1 side of your head
• You feel sick, vomit and find light or noise painful
These can be signs of a different type of headache, such as a migraine or cluster headache.
