Do your voices ever cause tension headaches?

My voices were causing me tension headaches in the recent past and I was wondering if anyone else has it. I mentioned it to my psychiatrist and she didn’t really respond.

Anyone else out there?

Your GP may be able to help. I used to get them all the time, I’d use propranolol and it controlled it

I don’t hear voices so can’t really say anything in that regard. but I have intrusive thoughts which causes stress and tension but not headache.

Sorry 2 hear about the intrusive thoughts.

I get that too.

Not the really literal ones but the more subtle ones.

Yes, horrible ones that feel like an anaconda squeezing my head on the rare occasion. It seems to get worse based on the seasons (fall especially).

I think it has something to do with voluntary generated piloerection, in my case.


Tension headaches can also come from stress or extreme anxiety.
