Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Judging from your description in the absence of other symptoms I do not think it likely for the headache to be due to the fall. It is much more likely tension type headache, the most common type of headache which is often triggered by stress and anxiety. Usually over the counter medication like Ibuprofen is enough to alleviate symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
