Experts believe COVID headaches can feel like tension headaches, that induce mild to moderate pain, leading to tightness, or pressure around your forehead or the back of your head and neck.
That said, some of the tell-tale characteristics of a COVID-19 headache includes:
- Moderate to severe pain in the head
- Pulsing, pressing or stabbing pain
- Pain on both sides of the head
- Lasting for more than three days
- Resistant or non-responsive to regular painkillers
