Tension-Type Headaches
📋Overview
This condition is characterized by a bilateral, tightening pain that is often described as a band-like pressure around the head. It is classified as a primary headache disorder, meaning it is not caused by an underlying medical condition. Common triggers include stress, poor posture, and sleep deprivation. Unlike migraines, these headaches are usually not accompanied by nausea or vomiting, and physical activity does not typically worsen the pain.
