    I usually feel this when I am worrying about something and there are times it happens during sudden movement. But it is controllable, by relaxing both heart and mind. Just avoid anger or worrying so much. There are times when anxiety attacks attack me because of this tension head ache, particularly when I feel like I am in imbalance emotion.

      Me too. I’ve been suffering this for about 3.5 weeks. I went to see 2 different physicians, 2 ENT specialists, and finally a Neurologist which is yesterday. I saw physician coz I thought my headache is like a migraine and ENT because I thought I’m having sinus infection. But last when I went to see Neurologist, he said don’t worry much brother yours is a tension headache. Gave me some tablets too.

Now the top of my scalp when I press it it feels tender and it hurts like pressure type of feeling and when I lay down I feel a little bit of pressure too

    I've had headaches for years and I'm only 17. The top back of my head always hurts when I press on it but the actual headaches will come and go. I can literally press on the top back of my head right now and I can almost like feel the pressure and it's sensitive and hurts.

    Can tension headache cause eye pain !? And increase bp level.. my bp stays at 140 and 100 now a days 😢 had sever headache since last 1 month after medication things are quite normal now since last week… my dr said it’s tension and macule headache … the pain is on my right occipital area I am so panicked that I had a sever panic attack on 8th may 23. I rush into the doctor. I had such tingling sensation since i was at class 7 but there was no need to seek for medical help. I was so worried about it as childhood trauma because I had several head blows with balls while playing cricket during my early age. I started linking these incidents with my current situation. But the doctor ensured me there is no link between such incidents its just co incidence that I developed such tingling sensation after a blow… the ct is clean no issues there… cronic tth is overwhelming to break anyone… hope everyone suffering from this will be okey soon including myself…
