A headache, and it feels like someone has their hands...?!
Question:
A headache, and it feels like someone has their hands...?
around my neck. Anyone else have something like this going on? Not a pain in the neck, just like it's being lightly squeezed, and it's causing a major headache, as if I just stood up really fast. What the fudge?

Is it tension? Sinuses/allergies? High blood pressure? Something else?

And it's making me nauseus.
Answers:
I get those and my doctor says they are tension headaches. I don't get nausea with a tension but I get migraines too (which can include nausea) but they are totally different.
Symptoms of a Tension Headache:
Dull, pressure-like
Generalized, worse in the scalp, temples or back of the neck
Not one-sided
Feels like a tight band or vise on the head
Occurs as an isolated incident, or occurs constantly or daily
Worsened or triggered by stress, fatigue, noise, glare
Your health care provider should be consulted -- to rule out other disorders that can cause head pain -- if the headache is severe, persistent or if other symptoms accompany the headache.
