Brief Answer:
Probably tensive headache
Detailed Answer:
Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering
The characteristics of your headache leads to tensive headache and I don't think you have to worry too much
In my opinion you should avoid caffein drinks, avoid chocolates as they exacerbate headache
It is reccomended that you schedule a CT scan just to be sure
In the meantime try ibuprofen two times a day
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
