Hi. I've been suffering with chronic tension headache for atleast 10 years. I have a moderate pain that usually starts from the moment i wake and gradually increases as the day goes on. The headache can be aggravated by any stress, excersise, bright lights and also using a computer. I have tried many different medications and therapies with little progress. I also struggle with anxiety and depression which i do think is hightened by the headaches. The pressure from the headaches causes me to feel off balanced and dizzy. These symptoms have a huge affect on my work and social life. Fortunately i have some great friends who have been very supportive. From what i've read tension headaches appear to be a grey area in medicine. I personally believe its linked with tension in the neck and shoulders.
If anyone is aware of any remedies for this issue please let me know. Thanks.
