How can I get rid of a tension headache in school without meds?

I've been really stressed lately and I keep getting them at school, and I can't focus because of them. I can't take meds at school, what can I do? :(

1. headaches are caused by tight neck muscles. They go to the top of your head where they connect to muscles going around your head. When the neck muscles get tight they pull the head muscles into pain and that's your headache. The tension happens because the tight neck muscles are restricting the blood leaving the head so it's backing up into your head to cause the pressure, or, as you feel it, tension. To get rid of these problems you have to free up your neck muscles to release the muscles and restore the blood flow and here's how to free them up:
Neck Release:
Place your hands behind your head touching your fingers. Press into the back of your neck with them and hold the pressure on them. After 45 seconds slowly lower your head until your neck is fully extended. Release the pressure but hold your head there for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

2. push up on your two front teeth. Works for me
