Migraine Vs Tension Headache Video
I can’t recommend a lot of the videos listed under “migraine headache” in YouTube, as they are usually hawking one product or another. Some of them also have very strange “facts” to present. But every now and then, you get a really helpful video, such as this one from FYINowHealth (which is a YouTube user name, not a website or a magazine). It very clearly lists in layman’s terms how to tell the difference between a miraine and a tension type headache.
In case you didn’t know, it does make a difference as to what kind of had pain you have in order to get proper drugs and other treatments. And also to know whether you can move around or stay as still as possible. Personally, I think migraines are worse than tension-type headaches, but I’m admittedly biased.
Speaking of headaches, I’m not doing so well today. I’m off. Enjoy the video.

I quite often have tension-type headaches and have wondered whether they are in fact migraines. Some of the symptoms of migraines in the video I can relate to. In fact I seem to recall nearly all off those symptoms at one point or another when I’ve had headaches before.
