Tension Headache – Symptoms & Causes

Tight Muscles

As the name implies, a tension headache occurs when the muscles around your head areas are contracted and tightened. Therefore, people with this condition would experience tight muscles in their shoulders and neck. This stiffness makes it much harder to move your upper parts of the body as usual. Even when you can, it would lead to a painful sensation that could force you to stop. In these cases, the best option is to take a rest and do some techniques to relax the muscles. [5]
