Headache

[Dec1893]

I've had a headache for the past 8 days went to urgent care they said I have a tension headache but I'm scared it might be something else, I have pain in the back of my head and the back of my neck the top of my head hurts and the sides. Has anyone else had a headache like that? Help!!!

Hi Sonia1205, I suffered from Tension Headaches for years. It seemed like they rolled from one to another never taking a break. The pain from over tightened head and face muscles produces pain in the back of the head, neck and sides. With mine even my face was tight. I would use heat packs on the back of my neck and face. I would try to stay away from daily medication or you end up with rebound headaches. Physical therapy helped reduce the triggers points/spasms. I would listen to relaxation tapes several times a day. It's a difficult pain to get rid of but eventually it will respond by you reducing stressful daily events. I did this by being put on medication and starting therapy. Once you break that cycle of pain, it get's better. I wish you well. Stay Positive and Strong. x

Axiety can effect your whole body so it's nothing ng it will stop on its on..try taking something for it take hot warmish baths instead of showers n put some empsom salt n your water...this should work...

I find that a heat pack applied to the top of the neck and essential lavender oil rubbed into temples really helped relief the tension and anxiety pains . I suffered so much with neck and head pains then I learned it built up with the pressure of anxiety ,stress and depression so I found holistic treatment more beneficial💟💟💟

Hi also neck and shoulder massage does wonders, I used to suffer too, get a nice pillow and support your neck and head whilst relaxing at home☺
