Chronic Tension Headaches?
I’ve had this tention in my neck/head area for 1 1/2 years now and just found it that it is chronic tension headaches..related to stress. I also experience popping/clicking in my neck area and the doc. says its because my neck is stiff and tight and when i hear the popping its a way to release the pressure. What I experience is not a pain but more of a pressure. They recommend lots of exercise as a way to release stress — any other suggestions?!?!
I also go for massage therapy, chiropractic and acupuncture treatments on a regular basis, which seems to help a bit

Maybe find away to eliminate or deal with the stress which is causing this in the first place.
first of all who needs all that exercise to relieve tension/stress
learn how to relax,deep breathing helps a lot,try it for a while
and see how it works on you,also ask your dr. about taking
stress medication like zoloft or paxil have you thought of
going to a therapist or shrink.all of the above works for me.
i, too have stress headaches nearly every day or nite. Deep breathing, shoulder exercises, neck and back massages, an antianxiety or antidepressant may help. Try to figure out what’s causing the stress and see if there is some way to change it or change your thinking about the stressor. I also play games on the computer of an evening to destress-something mindless.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves’ juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
