Do Headaches Occur Due To Exposure To Paint Fumes?

I have had on-going nagging headaches for the last 2 weeks 5/10 pain mostly in frontal region. Could it be from breathing in sanded drywall or acrylic paint from working on my new house? Or the muscle use or neck position while I m sanding/painting?Only other triggers I can think of is a renewed Px amlodipine (which look a little different from the last batch) I do get headaches from some nuts. 2x Panadeine only just relieves the pain. Thanks
