For a couple of months now, i have been experiencing headaches at least three times a day, and I've managed to worry myself silly about a possible brain tumour. So, this is what my headaches are like -
- it feels like (and there really is no other way to describe it) I can't unclench the muscles in my forehead, like they're constantly contracted, so the front of my head is really the most bothering
-they're not throbbing or dehabilitating (is this a real word?!), just the sort where you want to rub your temples/lie down/go to sleep
-they usually come on in the afternoon, and are more common when I'm at school ... occasionally I get them all day, but not too often
-my eyes feel tired or like they're bulging/too wide
-the back of my neck sometimes hurt
-I feel like I'm squinting and tensed up a lot of the time
-weirdly, exercise seems to relieve them, but then when I stop they usually come back
so, what does this sound like? Tension? Migraine? Anxiety? or.... worse?? Help/words of wisdom appreciated!!
