HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the headache only concern then it could be due to some tension and it may be due poor posture or lying in bed for more time, watch of dehydration, hypoglycemia, if this are there then take care for this, have some food and drink some water, for headache "Tab Acetaminophen can be tried" else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps
