Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No this is not due to treatment you are taking.
Sudden stress can cause headache.
Sudden stress causes sympathetic rush in the body. This causes vasoconstriction in brain vessels and this causes headache.
So we should should definitely avoid stress and tension in your case.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
