Brief Answer:
Most likely muscle tension headache.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your symptoms and the most likely cause is muscle tension headache. Since it is new symptom, you could take symptomatic treatment to relieve the pain, such as Naproxen 500 mg as and when you get headache.

If the headache persists for a few weeks, then, you may require detailed evaluation such as brain scan to find out any other causes.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
