Surprising Signs That You're Way Too Stressed

If you've been experiencing a killer headache more often than usual, it could be because you're stressed to the max. (Though it could also be due to other external factors, like your office lights being too bright.) Stress is one of the most common causes of tension headaches, which can be triggered by everyday irritants like traffic or work drama, and they can be compounded by other symptoms like muscle stiffening and pressure across your forehead. To treat the pain long-term, it's best to manage your stress, though you should also seek medical help if the frequency passes 15 or more days a month for three months, or if you have to take medication more than twice a week, reports the Mayo Clinic.
