What’s the difference between a tension headache and a migraine?
Migraines are debilitating headaches that often result in nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and can last for days at a time.
Tension headaches, on the other hand, are much milder. They often cause pain on both sides of the head and pressure behind the eyes, in the neck or jaw, or on top of the head, and can be treated with over-the-counter medications.
To find the right products to ease your headaches, talk to your pharmacist at Palermo Pharmacy today.
When you need to refill your prescription, does it look something like this:
Find a quiet place away from nearby ears. ➡️ Call the pharmacy. ➡️ Wait on hold. ➡️ Request a refill. ➡️ Wait a couple of days and hope it’s ready when you arrive.
🙅 No, thank you!
