Lucille usually takes the bus to work in Aurora. If she were to drive, her daily roundtrip commute would be 8 miles. Today she needs to use her car since she is participating in a conference at an offsite location, 12 miles from her house.
Stress can trigger both migraine and tension-type headache. Events like getting married, moving to a new home, or having a baby can cause stress. But studies show that everyday stressesânot major life changesâcause most headaches.
Itâs because as the tension of the week subsides, your levels of stress hormones drop, which causes a rapid release of neurotransmitters (the brainâs chemical messengers). These send out impulses to blood vessels to constrict and then dilate, which causes a headache.
