Question

question 15
a typical description of a tension headache is:
○ periorbital pain, sudden onset, often explosive in quality, and associated with nasal stuffiness, lacrimation, red eye, and nausea.
○ bilateral, occipital, or frontal tightness or fullness, with waves of aching pain.
○ hemicranial pain that is accompanied by vomiting and photophobia.
○ steadily worsening pain that interrupts sleep, is exacerbated by orthostatic changes, and may be preceded by nausea and vomiting.

Explanation:

Tension headaches are commonly described as bilateral (affecting both sides), often in the occipital (back of the head) or frontal (forehead) regions. The pain is typically described as a tightness, fullness, or a dull, aching pain that can come in waves. This description aligns with the second option.
The first option describes cluster - type headache symptoms (periorbital pain, sudden onset, associated with nasal stuffiness, etc.). The third option is more characteristic of migraines (hemicranial pain, vomiting, photophobia). The fourth option could be related to a more serious condition like a brain tumor (steadily worsening pain, sleep interruption, orthostatic exacerbation).

Answer:

Bilateral, occipital, or frontal tightness or fullness, with waves of aching pain.
