Stress does not cause brain tumors. Your persistent forehead and temple headaches, triggered by stress, sound very much like tension headaches. While Vicks provides temporary soothing relief, it does not treat the root cause. To help manage this, try stress-reduction techniques like deep breathing, ensure you are well-hydrated, and maintain a regular sleep schedule. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can offer relief. However, because these headaches are persistent, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and to discuss a safe management plan.
