A member asked:
What could cause a very severe headache across the front of head not relieved by painkillers but relieved by pressing on the area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tension headache: Headache can occur as a result of many conditions, and further assessment by a specialist should be considered if symptoms persist. Relief with direct pressure may indicate muscular tension as being one of the many causes, however, again, this can be accompanied by other conditions. Regardless, if symptoms persist then consultation with a neurologist or headache specialist is advised.
