    Default Tension headache or Migraine?

    I keep having moderate/severe headaches, i've had three in the past 5 days. I'm 90% sure they are tension headaches because it's a dull ache and feels like someones squeezing my brain. I also get a very sore aching jaw, I think I clench my teeth unconsciously during the day. Eventually the pain spreads to my temples and behind my eyes. I have no sensitivity to light or sounds.

    Even though I've had them before, every time I get one I'm terrified it's a migraine and I'm going to become n* and v*, which makes me panic which makes me n*. So if anyone who actually suffers from migraines could tell me if what I'm experiencing is similar or not?

    Default Re: Tension headache or Migraine?

    I have tension headaches EVERYDAY from anxiety and stress. It terrifies me, but tension headaches don't cause vomiting or nausea. If you don't have sight problems or pulsing pain than its just a tension headache and you have nothing to worry about. I clench my jaw when i'm nervous and thats why i get my tension headaches. Don't worry about it sweetie!
