What is tension headache?

On mc today cos my head is throbbing with pain. The doctor say it might be migraine or tension headache. Asked him how to define migraine, doctor said that if the pain occurs at one side of the head, then will shift to the other side, if the pain is a throbbing kind of pain, and if I feel like vomitting, these are symtoms of migraine.

I dont feel like puking, but the part of the pain being at one side of the brain and move to the other side, and the throbbing description fits my pain exactly leh.

Sigh.

But doctor say it could be tension headache, so he have me some 'relaxant', on top of my regular ponstan pills. These pills are really my saviours leh, they really stop my headaches (the common panadols doesnt help usually). Unfortunately, it only effects after 30mins or so.

Which is very good already la. You think what, xian dan ar? But when the pain occurs, it is really unbearable. I would either tear because I feel sad (dunno why I feel sad too, is it because the places of my head that hurts gang gang hao control my tear ducts?

If not because of the weird sense of sadnees, it would be because it is so painful that it made me cry. Hen chan leh!
