23 Feb Do you experience 🤕 Tension Headaches that seem to sit in the base of your head and spread up into the crown of your head 😳 Perhaps it feels like a tight ring squeezing around your temples 🤕
If you suffer from Tension Headaches, you are not alone. In fact, it is estimated that about 7 million Australians are likely to have Tension-type Headaches! A recent WHO report states that the onset of Tension-type Headaches is often in teenage years and is most common in 40-50 year olds; 60% of those with tension-type headaches experience reductions in social activities and work capacity.
Symptoms of Tension-type Headaches include:
– dull and persistent pain that can vary usually on both sides of the head or neck;
– constant, tight, heavy or pressing sensation on or around the neck;
– limited neck movements with muscle tightness and neck pain;
– recurrent and episodic Pain that can last minutes, hours, days, months or even years
– mild sensitivity to light and noise
– nausea and indigestion
– trouble concentrating and difficulty sleeping
– depression and anxiety because of the above symptoms.
