Tension headaches
Tension headaches are characterized by constant headache pain that usually does not throb or pulse. Typically, there is tightness around the forehead that may feel like a "vice grip." Aching pain can also be felt at both temples or the back of the head and neck. Pain, fullness, or pressure usually occurs on both sides of the head rather than just one side. Tension headaches are not often associated with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or noise, and are not usually disabling. Episodes of tension headaches can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. If a person experiences tension headaches on 15 days or more per month, they are considered chronic.
Tension headaches are related to muscles tightening in the back of the neck or head due to stress, anxiety, fatigue, hunger, anger, poor posture, or overexertion.
Treatment for tension headaches usually includes aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonprescription pain relievers. Prescription medications, such as antidepressants, may be needed. Additional therapies, including stress management or biofeedback, may be tried to reduce or prevent tension headaches.

EFFECTIVELY MANAGING HEADACHE:
Managing a headache effectively may reduce its severity and prevent recurrence. There are many ways to manage your headaches.
Identify and avoid triggers that cause your headaches. Avoid overuse of pain relievers to reduce rebound headaches. Carry medications with you to promptly treat an emerging headache. Try medications with the fewest side effects, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Exercise regularly, eat well, and reduce stress to improve your quality of life. Partner with your health professional to identify the best treatment for your headaches.

ANOTHER VIEW:
Eye is part of the sensory system. Therefore eye is part of the brain. Through eye, the light signal is modify to electric signal before send to the brain. If the brain can’t perceive the light signal very well, some stress signal will send out to the eye in order to perceive back a normal light signal. These include the ability of the eye to converge, to focus, refocus and etc. In this situation, when the eye cannot cope with it anymore, headache will occur. Anyway, this is one of the reason that can cause headache, however headache related to the eye is multifactorial. Any pressure or physical changes through the eye can also cause headache, such as glaucoma, optic neuritis, papiloedema, etc.
