Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lower back pain and headache. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle strain , kidney stones , tension headache , constipation , acute kidney failure or fatigue . I would suggest you to take proper rest , avoid lifting heavy things , apply warm compresses to back or take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray or CT scan . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for migraine or exertion headache type of problem
Hope your concern has been resolved.
