I had a talk with my doctor today about this very subject, She said tenshion headaches usually surround the back and lower back sides , and sinus headache is usally on top and frontal and blood pressure headaces were usually in the sides of the temple area. I get the ones mostly on top and in the back of my head really bad. I have had many but of lately.
