Does anyone else experience pain that gets worse when you're given an opportunity to relax? For example, if you have a headache at work/school, it is present but you're still able to complete obligations but then becomes much worse when you return home?

I find that when I return home (~30 minutes after) the pain becomes tenfold, I must be in the quiet/dark, and lay down. However at school or work, the same headache is obviously not that disabling, and I'm able to act normal and complete everything I need to do.

If this is typical for anyone else, why is this the case?
