Tension headaches are often related to stress and originate elsewhere in the body. Stress can cause tension in the shoulders, neck and jaw, which then spreads to the muscles in the face and forehead.
The muscles are connected to nerves that sense the tension. They then send the signal to the brain, resulting in the oppressive and annoying feeling we know as a headache.
Although it seems that the pain is deep in the brain, it originates outside the skull.
Headaches can be hereditary
Stress is by no means the only factor that can cause headaches.
Alcohol, dehydration, colds, flu and excessive screen use are other triggers.
In addition to muscle tension, poor blood circulation, hereditary diseases and a chemical imbalance can also play a role in the development of headaches.
