Headaches are maybe the most common painful symptoms of stress. Headaches caused by stress can range from the low pain “I’m not even aware that I have a headache” to the high pain “My head’s gonna burst!” types of headaches.

It is interesting and insightful to take a closer look at how a stress caused headache develops. First, stress causes some confusion and conflict at the intellectual or emotional levels. At this stage pain is not manifested yet as the conscious mind is dealing with the problem.
