QUESTION: Tension-type Headaches

ANSWER: With this type of headache, you have a dull ache characterized by mild to moderate pain. The aching is on both sides of your head, and it comes on slowly.

If you feel pain around your neck and the back of your head, or in the forehead and temple region -- and if the pain feels more like tightness than it does a throbbing or pounding -- then you probably have a tension-type headache. You won't have nausea or auras with this kind of headache. Tension-type headaches can occur very frequently (even daily) and are sometimes very painful.
