I've been getting (or so my doctor says) tension headaches almost daily (6 out of 7 days a week at least) since the beginning of January and it's really starting to bum me out. Well it's a mix of tension and migraines. I went to the doctor and he gave me an anti inflammatory to calm the muscles down in my neck and back but it's not really doing anything.

Whenever I stand up I get this horrible rush and it's really painful. I've had to miss work because of it (which I'm not a big fan of). They sometimes lead into migraines and I will get sick. I'm not sensitive to light or loud noises though so that's a plus.

I've tried massage therapy but it doesn't really do anything for me. I'm going to try going on a more regular basis I guess.

Has anyone ever had chronic tension headaches? Any tips or anything? That's really all I'm looking for.

I have been sleeping with my pillow under my head rather than my neck, as well as stretching daily but it's not doing anything yet (I've only been stretching and on the anti inflammatory meds for a week)

I also have horribly low blood pressure. Usually around 80/50, but it's been like that as long as I can remember so my doctor said it's nothing to worry about. Though I used to run marathons etc. so that explained it before lol now I'm just chillin. I thought maybe circulation had something to do with it because it bothers me when I stand up, so I started running again in like March.. it helped for a bit but it turned out it was just a few good days, because it went right back to it.
