1. Tension !2. Headaches are a symptom of depression. It could be a tension headache which often starts in the back of the head or neck and can feel like a tight band around the head.
3. HEadache is not a desise by it self it is a sign of disease or any other abnormality.Most of the time headache(At the back)IS the sign of stress.So ask urself are u thinking something and worry too much?If u do that stop that and the headack will go off very soon.
4. If you have pain in your neck and shoulders, it could possibly be tension headaches. Try not to get so stressed out over little things. Remember, "Today is the tomorrow u worried about yesterday..."
5. caffeine and sun or dehydrated
6. Headaches can be caused by depression, but also tension, stress and allergies.
7. Yup, tension can creep up from between your shoulders, to your neck, and then right into a headache. You don't necessarily have to be clinically depressed, just stressed or anxious.
8. Yes depression has been attributed to headaches, stomach aches, joint stiffness and a whole array of physical symptoms. There are many causes for headaches also. For example, tension can cause head aches, stress, dehydration, underlying disease processes. Because of the worsening of your depression, I would start there and see the practitioner that treated you before.That person is more familiar with your case and has your history.I hope you get better soon.
9. you didnt have enough rest. you need more sleep. stop thinking so much stressing your brains, it will only harm your health. try to relax. it will also helps for your depression. when age catching up, days before PMS (plus not enough rest, irregular meals, weak body, etc) will also cause headaches. only if you spend time to sleep the whole day. you will feel better. Pain killers can only control / stop your headaches in a short-term. Should take good care of yourself. Have a balance meals, plenty of water and Sleep is the most important.
10. Check Your bp and let me know. Take bp during no Headache and take bp during Headache. Pls be kind enough to let me know both readings. And do you need Power Glass to see distance OR close. ?? Let me know these also. One again you are requested to let me know as asked. And your Age + weight.

11. If it gets REALLY bad, it might be an aneurysm
12. Depression can also cause headaches, as well as other ailments. Seek professional help. It took me a year of going to different Doctors, and visits to the ER before a CAT scan and and MRI showed I had a brain tumor at the base of my brain. I went to Stanford and had it removed. I am doing great now.
Be proative.
