What are tension headaches? like what causes them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cause unknown: The causes for ANY type of headache can be highly variable. There is no one cause for tension type headaches. Stress is considered the #1 risk factor for all headache types. The best way to discover the type(s) of headache(s) you have is to use a headache diary, document your symptoms carefully for a period of time, and then, have a headache specialist interpret the data.
