Have Daily Headaches, Tightening, Pain And Pressure Behind Eyes, Unable To Get Proper Sleep Due To Nursing. Reasons ?

Hello and thank you for your time. I've been experiencing daily headaches for about 2 months; no previous history of migraines or other chronic headaches, no other neurological or constitutional symptoms. The onset of these chronic, daily headaches occurred after a viral assault and subsequent sinusitis, which has since resolved. The headaches can be characterized as tightening, pressure and moderate pain, which are change location frequently. So one day, they will be temporal and the next it will be pressure/pain above, center and behind my eyes and then the next day will be steady pain in my forehead. I have been under extreme daily stress for quite some time now and I'm tense, uptight nearly 75% of my day. I do not sleep well at night, due to tandem nursing my children throughout the night. Any thoughts regarding these being tension headaches?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the description, these headaches are likely to be due to tension headaches.
However, a brain scan would be useful in excluding other internal problems.
For tension headaches, I prefer dothiepin or amitryptiline tablets.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
