Hi. I've been suffering with chronic
tension headache for atleast 10 years. I
have a moderate pain that usually starts
from the moment i wake and gradually
increases as the day goes on. The headache
can be aggravated by any stress,
excersise, bright lights and also using a
computer. I have tried many different
medications and therapies with little
progress. I also struggle with anxiety and
depression which i do think is hightened
by the headaches. The pressure from the
headaches causes me to feel off balanced
and dizzy. These symptoms have a huge
affect on my work and social life.
Fortunately i have some great friends who
have been very supportive. From what i've
read tension headaches appear to be a grey
area in medicine. I personally believe its
linked with tension in the neck and
shoulders.
If anyone is aware of any remedies for
this issue please let me know. Thanks.

Tipper,
I have been there so i know how you are
feeling.I still suffer some anxiety which
i am takin meds for(Ativan). 2 yrs. ago i
was having off-balanced feelings and
dizziness and i was a hilo driver at the
time.so driving a hilo feeling that way
was very dangerous for me.i went to to
doctors and he diagnosed me with Vertigo
which i also took meds for(Antivert). made
an appointment with an ear,nose and throat
specialist and they put me through a
number of tests. I ended up doing
physiotherapy excersises for get rid of
the vertigo.Something you might want to
check on.good luck!

Hi
I mentioned this in another thread. Have
you been checked for vitamin deficiencies?
Some people lack certain vitamins even if
you take them your body may not absorb
them properly which can lead to some other
problems, such as headaches, anxiety,
vertigo, etc..
