When it began it would last a few days at a time but it has become a constant about 5 months ago. It has now started radiating down my neck and the left side of the spineand arm and fingers.

Episodic tension-type headaches are headaches occurring fewer than 15 days a month, whereas chronic tension headaches occur 15 days or more a month for at least 6 months
