A member asked:

Where is the location of a headache from intracranial hypertension? i have a headache on the top of my head, its not bad just feels tight and achy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All over: It's all over but you can't diagnose ich by the location of a headache since it's non-specific and much more common causes produce headaches in the same location.
