By Debbie Wolfe The most common type of a headache that afflicts most people are tension headaches. A tension-type headache affects over one-third of men and over one-half of women in the world. The most common way to relieve headache pain is to use over the counter painkillers. Although oral painkillers have their uses, taking to many of them leads to unpleasant side effects. Chronic use of acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) can cause nausea, rash, liver damage (with high doses). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Advil) can cause stomach upset, heartburn, and stomach ulcers and kidney problems (with long-term use).
