Muscle tension: Muscle contraction from chronic tension and stress is a common cause of headaches and neck discomfort. Too much anxiety and tension are not healthy and you should consult your physician for methods to reduce stress and anxiety in your life. Methods could include psychotherapy and/or antianxiety medication.
