I have pain in the back of my head due to stress. What medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 35 · 5 hours ago

For stress-related pain at the back of your head, which is often a tension headache, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen (400mg) or Acetaminophen (500mg). Please follow the package instructions and take them with food. To help relieve the muscle tension, try applying a warm compress to your neck, practicing gentle stretching, and staying well-hydrated. If your headache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by red-flag symptoms like neck stiffness, fever, numbness, or vision changes, please consult a doctor immediately. Avoid using pain relievers more than two to three days a week to prevent rebound headaches.
