Headaches are very common and occur usually during stressful situations. Typical tension headaches are worse as the day goes on, worse when we try to rest at the end of the day, and more frequent as the stress increases. They are usually on both sides of the head, often starting in the back of head or neck, and usually get better with Tylenol, heating pads, and after resting for awhile. Warning signs of potentially more severe headaches including severe pain, nausea/vomiting, light sensitivity, pain that wakes you up in the morning, visual problems, dizziness or weakness. If your headaches are accompanied by those things or other concerning symptoms, you should see your family doctor.
