Can a Tension Headache last for weeks

[MissCeltic]

I am having pain in the back of my head and the top of my head and sometimes my forehead for over 2 weeks now. I think it’s caused by my new pillows which were quite high so I have reverted to my old pillows but still feeling this pain.

I thought tension headaches only lasted a day or two so getting a bit worried.

Is it interfering with your daily activities? How bad is the pain?

It’s not interfering with my daily life and it’s not agony. I do feel the pain but Ibuprofen helps.

Well that's good, I would only worry if the pain was distracting/ getting worse or if there were other symptoms. Hopefully it will ease soon.

Years ago I had Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension so I was also worried that was starting up again and the thought of lumbar punctures again was giving me the absolute fear. I am just back from the Optician and she examined the back of my eyes and said there was no papilidema so it’s unlikely. So I am thinking it’s either tension headache or my Diabetes.

Will give it another couple of weeks and then go to the doc.

@MissCeltic did they go away?! What was the fix?
