Brief Answer:
Most likely stress headaches

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting us with your health question...

The stress response to tough life situations is completely normal. It can be a difficult time, but, however, try to focus more on the positives in life. Reach out to family and friends. Exercise regularly, try to eat healthily and focus on activities that take your mind off stress-provoking thoughts.

That being said, if you are finding it very difficult to handle the stress, or have symptoms like weight loss, suicidal thoughts, sleep issues, etc then it is important to seek medical help.

The headache you are experiencing seems to be due to a stress headache. You can take Tylenol to manage the pain. Also, make sure you are well-rested.

Hope this answers your question
