      You should take migraine pills during attacks. At least to ease the pain. There is nothing bad for health in this. But if the pills do not help or the pain does not stop, you need to check up with a competent doctor.

      Thank you. I've been taking panadol. Phoned the dr and he is calling me tomorrow afternoon.

    Hi, I experience a tightness sensation in the head - I wouldn't really call this painful just very uncomfortable. It plays with my balance and feels very odd, I am unable to think clearly during this period. Are these typical symptoms of a tension headache ? When I am at home or relaxed I have no such problems at all....

    Yes, I used to get headaches in the back of my head due to stress. But after I started taking an evening walk in a nearby park, it got better.
