Hi,
Thanks for using the XXXXXXX I am happy to address your questions, just to share that ortho tri-cyclen is a combination hormone used to prevent pregnancy. You maybe suffering from tension headaches which are most common, also referred to as stress headaches. A It appears periodically ("episodic XXXXXXX less than 15 days per month) or daily ("chronic XXXXXXX more than 15 days per month). An episodic may be described as a mild to moderate constant band-like pain, tightness, or pressure around the forehead or back of the head and neck. These headaches may last from 30 minutes to several days. Episodic tension headaches usually begin gradually, and often occur in the middle of the day. The "severity" of a tension headache increases significantly with its frequency. Women are twice as likely to suffer from tension-type headaches as men. Tension headaches are usually triggered by some type of environmental or XXXXXXX stress. The most common sources of stress include family, social relationships, friends, work, and school.The goals of treatment for are to prevent further attacks and relieve any current pain, hence will recommend you visit your physician for confirmed diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks
