Tension Headache – Symptoms & Causes

Head Tenderness

A tension headache, particular mild or moderate, would also lead to the tenderness of your head or scalp. It feels like the skin is tightened by a strong force from the inside. The duration of each attack can range from 30 minutes up to the whole day. In most cases, people tend to place their palms on the head and press to seek temporary relief and ease the tenderness. Also, taking some OTC drugs would be helpful in alleviating this symptom. [4]
