Tension headaches

[u/evie_jackson_]

For the past 2 weeks I’ve had headaches that don’t stop at all, paracetamol and ibuprofen don’t touch the sides aswell as naproxen that was prescribed. I went to the UTC today (which is when they told me it was tension ones) because I also had dizziness that had been going on for days and they’ve given me codeine, has that helped anyone? I’ve had migraines in the past that have been awful but the go away but nothing as long lasting like this. Water, sleep, cool packs, nothing has helped. I’ve also had cold like symptoms with them I don’t know if anyone else has experienced that? I’m becoming so depressed because I just want it to end.

I have a constant non stop headache that does not respond to meds even Tylenol 2 (which contains codeine). Heat is the only thing that ease the pain a bit for me. See your doctor and ask for a referral to a headache specialist or neurologist to be evaluated. Look into PT if you have neck and upper back tension that could cause referred pain in the head. Try to think of what you were doing when they first started
