The most common headaches are those associated with tension or muscle contractions and are directly related to stress.
The pain tends to be steady and dull.
Usually felt in the temples, forehead, neck, back of head or sometimes, the pain seems to encircle the head like a tight band.
Tension headaches may occur at any time.
Most commonly they are experienced during periods of stress or worry.
Treatment involves relieving the tension through massage, heat, hot shower or relaxation techniques or activity.
Nonprescription painkillers, such as aspirin or acetaminophen, may also help.
For severe muscle tension headaches, other slightly more potent drugs may be prescribed.
