There are a thousand causes of headaches from simple fatigue to a brain tumor. The most common reasons for headache are: high blood pressure (don’t expect in your case), sinus inflammation, eye problems (refractory anomalies, glaucoma), infections, mental stress, fatigue, exposing the head to the sun, etc. You can go to your GP for an examination.
