Hello !
I read your question and understand your concern.
In my opinion the troubles you have are related to muscular contractions of the scalp muscles and the neck muscles.
The main problem may be in the cervical spine, degeneration of the bones or the intervertebral disks, causing irritation of the nearby structures ans muscular contractions. I would recommend a cervical Xray to examine this part of your column for these problems.
The headaches and the tightness may also be attributed to psychological stress, to a wrong position of the head and neck during the day etc.
The tightness in the head is the typical pattern of Tension type headache. It is a common type of headache , induced by all the factors I mentioned above , and can be treated with antidepressants.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
