A tension-type or stress headache is a common type of headache that causes mild to moderate pain that’s often described as feeling like a tight band around the head or like a constant ache in the head, neck, or scalp.
It usually lasts 30 minutes to several hours, or even several days that affects both sides of the head, but pain can radiate from the neck, eyes, or lower back of the head.
Most headaches are caused by tension in the muscles of the neck and scalp after periods of stress and concentration.
Women are more likely to have tension-type headaches.
It has been observed that this type of headache affects people in their 40s.
Most Common Symptoms may include:
