Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The most common cause of intermittent headaches in a 29 year old lady is migraine. So, it may be a good idea to start preventive migraine therapy with medications such as topiramate, divalproex, or beta blockers. These would reduce the severity and frequency of headaches.
However, if your headaches persist, you can get a brain scan done to exclude other causes. Tumor is extremely unlikely with your symptoms.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
