Moving or shaking head up and down can lead to experiencing headaches.
Not being hydrated properly, can lead to headache, too.
Actually, staying hydrated can help preventing headaches.
It is known that fatigue causes tension type of headaches, and fatigue is a side effect of dehydration.
By drinking enough glasses of water every day, you'll treat fatigue and headache.
Getting a warm shower, helps in relaxing the tensed muscles (reason for tension headache), and relieves the headache.

What's the type of the headache you get?
Can you describe the intensity of these headaches?

You are welcome!

This was probably a case of occipital neuralgia.
It is a type of headache characterized by piercing, throbbing, or electric-shock-like chronic pain in the upper neck, back of the head, and behind the ears, usually on one side of the head.
Usually, the pain of occipital neuralgia begins in the neck and then spreads upwards.
Following things can be reason for experiencing this kind of headache:
irritation or injury to the occipital nerves, which can be the result of trauma to the back of the head, pinching of the nerves by overly tight neck muscles, and, frequent lengthy periods of keeping the head in a downward and forward position.
As a wrestler you are in a risk group of people who can suffer from this type of headache.
This pain often improve with therapy involving heat, rest, anti-inflammatory mediations, and muscle relaxants.
