A tension headache is a headache that feels like pressure or tension in and around the head. It is the most common type of headache. It is common for most people to have at least one tension headache in their lifetime.
Some people have tension headaches only once or twice a year, while others may have frequent or even daily headaches. Despite the discomfort, most people can continue with their usual activities.
