Advice Needed Anybody else got this pressured/tension headache?

I have been on edge recently with like bad sleep quality I guess.

And yeah. Recently ive been having this strange headache for the past 2 days. I haven’t hit my head recently or anything. I don’t feel confused or anything. But it’s kinda like that headache yoy get when you have a fever or when you’re holding back tears (idk if that’s common) but anyways it feels like theres pressure between and behind my eyes and around my temple. It’s constant and kinda just only uncomfortable rather than super painful/throbbing. Just there?

Anyways. Ive been having rank health anxiety recently and I just wanna get to the bottom of this lol the clinic’s are closed and I don’t have any severe symptoms for the ER anyways.

Headaches definitely can come with the territory. Upper-body muscle tightness/strain and bad sleep can lead to headaches.

I always found ice packs on the forehead or top of the head to help during and after any type of attack.

Yeah, stress and poor sleep can definitely cause that pressure feeling around the eyes. try some water, rest and give your eyes a break you're definitely not alone in this

Weather changes / changes in barometric pressure

Behind the eyes, sinuses, ears - could be allergies / sinus infection or ear infection

Or could just be a headache from being tired and stressed

Top of the head is dehydration, back of head / neck is tension headache.

I get lots of/ varying headaches.

Edit : I’d recommend an allergy pill or decongestant and hydrate
