Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM! I appreciate your concern!\
I don't think that there is anything to worry about. It seems to be just a tension type headache, from a wrong position during sleeping and from pressure in this part of the head.
I would recommend you to take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for some days. If the situation doesn't get better, I recommend you to consult with a neurologist and perform some tests like : a routine blood test, inflammation tests, etc.
Hope to have been helpful!
