migranes or tension headaches?
hiya, for context i’m 20 i started to experience regular headaches maybe a year and a half ago, before that i did get the odd headache maybe once week or so, recently they have been bothering me though, i’m currently dealing with bad anxiety so i don’t work etc or leave my house often im always looking at a screen 9/10 times.
they are always behind one eye, it can vary on which eye one day it may be left next it could be right
i do sometimes feel some neck pain with it, i use a heat pad and it helps (sorta), and i take paracetamol as i can’t have ibuprofen, and it will occasionally help ease it but sometimes it won’t,
i have had full blown migraines before which i usually wake up with and throw up at the end of the night with and it starts to ease but i dont get these often.
i have been prescribed 10mg propanolol but im a bit hesitant on taking it as i feel my headaches could just be tension headaches,or possibly medication overuse
would be great to hear others opinions!
