Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Muscle tightness can occur in muscle tension headaches, commonly referred to as tension headaches.

These respond to medications such as amitriptyline tablets. In addition, gentle head massage would also be helpful.

There is no need to worry about your symptoms.

I hope my reply has helped.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
