What Causes Headaches After Exposure To Paint Fumes?

I spent all Easter painting inside our building with ventilation. Experienced first headache approximately twelve hours later. Advil relieved it. Then woke up with another headache approximately twelve hours after that. Can this still be from the paint fumes? Thank you.

Inhalation of paint fumes can cause headaches.
Prevent further exposure to paint fumes. Ventilate your home adequately to get rid of gumes.Keeps window open. You can also take Tylenol, if not allergic to help with a pain.
