Tuition headaches can be treated depending on the type of tension headache, if it is a chronic tension headache I will I think you should go visit the hospital and talk to a doctor about it so that drugs can be recommended for you but if it is a mountain headache what you need to take is just asking or any pain reliever drugs you could get in your area.

My Experience with Tension Headache

My tension headache is usually caused by anxiety comma. Whenever I'm anxious I usually develop tension headaches for example the day I went for an interview early this month, I came back home with a tension headache. At the interview we were given a written test first, after that, we were asked to wait for the oral test which I was very anxious about. Thank God! I was able to do well and I got the job I went to apply for. I'm now working as a teacher in a school close to my house. Which has made it less stressful for me.
