Welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* The headache since 1 week may be related to various possible conditions

else.

Kindly provide me further details so that I can answer your query completely.

2. Associated fever, nausea, alteration in appetite if any ?
3. Recent stress episodes or altered sleep ?
