Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into the problem I will suggest you that goosebumps are a very non specific symptom and can occur any time any where even when you are exposed to cold .
The history that you dont feel unwell by exercise indicates that you are having good health . Your doctor remains the best judge of the situation as he has examined you also and he is right in saying that these features may be due to anxiety . Headcahes also can be tension headaches as no other featurs like photosensitivity etc. is associated with them .
But still I would like to advise you check your thyroid profile by getting S. TSH done as these symptoms can be forerunner of thyroid disease .
Take care.
