Tension Headaches

A tension headache (also called a muscle contraction headache) is the most common type of headache. Tension headaches usually result from strain on muscles in the face, neck, or scalp, and can be triggered by factors such as anxiety, stress, eyestrain, a noisy environment, or too little sleep. They can also result from overeating, drinking too much alcohol, or heavy smoking. Prolonged coughing or sneezing, a head or neck injury, or poor posture can bring on a tension headache. Tension headaches that occur nearly every day are called chronic daily headaches.
