I've had cluster migraines, etc. in the
past. When I was delivering my son the
pain during pushing became such that it
felt like my head would explode. That
seems normal to me. However, a week
later, we received traumatic news on
another family member and that pain came
back to the point of being like an ice
pick being jabbed into my head and it
reoccurred during the subsequent week. My
speech became slow during the onset of the
headaches and at times I would need to
kneel down.
The headaches have lessened but at times
flare up to the same level, especially
when accompanied by stress. Is this
normal for tension type headaches?
Anyone?

Nope, that is not a tension headache.
It may be a blood pressure headache. Do
you monitor your blood pressure at all?
I have also heard of "ice pick" headaches
and the pain is described similiarly.
However, I think that you need to see a
neurologist. If it is interfering with you
speech it definitely needs to be looked
into. It could be having a greater effect
on you than you realize. Good luck and
keep us posted!
