Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxx,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Stress and tension type headache is usually bilateral with no other features.
Are you having any nausea, vomiting, increased light sensitivity, headache of throbbing nature that is one sided?
Duration of headache?
You should take amitriptyline for the time being, since this is a prescription drug, you may get the prescription from your local doctor.
Kindly provide more details so that I can assist you better.
