How long does a tension headache last?

At least i think i have a tension headache. It has lasted for about 5 days and it hasn't been very painful, it seems to be all around my head. it is not a severe pain it is just mild constant one, and it doesn't get worse with physical activity and i have not been vomiting or nausiated. I was wondering if a tension headache can occur after all of the stress has been over like 2 weeks after. I am currently in grade 12 and i had 4 tests and an assignment due within 2 days 2 weeks ago, but my headache t seems to have gotten a little better today. any sugges. would help out alot.

1. these tension headaches last as long as you are under stress=they will leave when your stress level comes down

2. never mind that..you have a headache more than two days seek medical help....NOW........it might be nothing but when the head is concerned you dont want to leave it, oh and a tension headache lasts hours not days, you get rid of the tension it goes

3. Sinus Headache = front of head
Tension = rear of head
Migraine = side of head near temples

I suffer from Very bad Migraines and the best over the counter stuff I found so far is Ordius KT (excuse Spelling)
Also Try putting some ice in a small towel and place on the back of your neck.
