Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Headache may be stress related.
Is there any vomiting, loss of consciousness, seizures, motor deficit?
Any previous history of stroke, facial pain?
You can get examined by a physician or neurologist and get medications like amitriptyline, sertraline or duloxetine.
