Tension headache: has qualities that set it apart form common and classic migraine: Typically it evolves slowly over hours. (VS minutes for migraine) There is often a band like constricting quality. Sleep does not help (as with migraine) I suggest you try butalbital and massage therapy, and if that does not work consider seeing a headache specialist.
