A tension headache is the most common type of headache. It can cause mild, moderate, or intense pain in your head, neck, and behind your eyes. Some patients say that a tension headache feels like a tight compression headband tightly over the forehead. Certain triggers for these headaches include:
- Eye strain
- Dry eyes
- Fatigue
- Smoking
- Drinking
- A cold
- Sinus issues
- Excess caffeine
- Stress
