Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
I don't think headache and backache are related. Headache could be due to high BP eyestrain lack of sleep migraine .
Backache could be due to physical strain vertebral problem disc problem radiculopathies etc .
It requires physical examination . I advise to take a physician consultation for headache and orthopedic consultation for backache.
