Migraine Headaches

During a tension headache, you may experience:

Moderate pain
Pain that gradually appears
Radiation of pain into the neck and shoulders
Stress or stressful situations prior to the headache
Pain located over the forehead, temples, or back of the neck
Squeezing pain on both sides of the head, although one-sided pain is possible

Tension headaches do not usually have symptoms like light or sound sensitivity or nausea and vomiting. While the pain appears gradually, there is not usually an aura or any warning signs that a tension headache is about to appear.
