Why do i always get headaches above my eyes (feels like am frowning) and nape of neck ??

Tension : There could be a number of reasons, but a common one would be anxiety & emotional tension that can cause headache through muscle spasm in the head & neck. Also...Do you get enough sleep, drink enough water? Hope hat helps.
