Tension headache: What you are describing sounds like a tension headache; anything that causes tensing of muscles in your head/scalp can trigger it, as well as anxiety/stress, caffeine, eye strain, etc. I would try to identify what triggers affect you to minimize the effect.

Tension headache: Sounds like a tension headache. There are very specific meds for these. See your doc for these. Worst thing you could do would be to take analgesics for these.
