Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have read your query; I am sorry about your health concern.
Having headache once in a while is normal but having it since last 25 to 26 years is not normal.
Yes, you definitely need to be seen by a Neurologist. We need to find out if there is any organic cause for your headache. For this, a CT or MRI scan of the brain would be required.
With reference to your headaches linked to neck position, I strongly feel there is a probability of Cervical Spondylosis. An MRI of the cervical spine can confirm its presence or not.
Initially, it is better to consult a Neurologist and go ahead accordingly. Meanwhile, I suggest that you do not use any pillow for your head while sleeping, and sleep straight as you have mentioned.
Let me know if you have more concerns.
Regards,
Please consult a Neurologist
