Brief Answer:
Headache could happen for several reasons.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for being here on HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Headaches could be related to several conditions, in your case, those more probable include changes in blood pressure, premenopause and/or menopause problems, it could herald an incoming flu, or it could be only a common primary headache, since ibuprofen improved it.

If this was just an isolated episode, you have nothing to worry about.

If headaches repeat, or new symptoms appear (fever, nausea etc.) you need to be evaluated further by your primary care Doctor about above mentioned possibilities.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
