Brief Answer:
Stress Headache

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Your symptoms are classically suggestive of Stress Headache and you need to simply get a routine check up by your Physician including the blood pressure check.

In such cases, i prefer to give Tab Amitryptilline 10 mg once daily at night for 2 weeks and get wonderful response.

Along with medicines, i always encourage my patients and i want you also to do morning walk, yoga and meditation.

Medicines will give you relief, but you can't take them for whole life. And stress is a part if life. So, Morning walk and meditation helps you naturally to fight with the stress.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
