Medications
There are many possible medications and drugs to ease your tension headache. Some OTC options such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen often work well. Nevertheless, you should not abuse them to prevent some side effects. These include vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, irritability, depression, and even rebound headaches. For more severe cases, your doctor would suggest some anti-depressants. Again, it is important to take precautions and use moderation to prevent further complications like weight gain, increased blood pressure, or blurred vision. [12]
