Tension Headaches | Triggers, Risk Factors, Signs & Symptoms, Types, Diagnosis, Treatment

Tension Headaches (also known as stress headaches and tension-type headaches) are very common headaches that lead to mild-moderate bilateral head pain. Tension Headaches can be triggered by a variety of factors including sleep deprivation, dehydration and stress. Tension Headaches differ from migraine headaches in many ways including that tension headaches are bilateral, do not have associated nausea/vomiting and do not have a prodrome. In this lesson, we discuss all the triggers, risk factors, signs and symptoms, how they are diagnosed and how they are treated.

Five million people in the U.S experience at least one migraine attack per month. Dr. Patricia Feito, Family Medicine Physician at Baptist Health Primary Care, says the biggest trigger is stress. “We can’t deny that obesity and being overweight are conditions that trigger migraines but stress is an utmost primary thing that we look at when we’re dealing with migraine triggers,” she explains.

She points out a migraine is a headache, it is an intense throbbing symptom that occurs in areas of the brain and it has a lot to do with electrical conduction of the brain attached to vascular circulation, causing either constriction or dilation.
