Brief Answer:
Could be muscle tension headache.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry as your CT scan of brain is normal.

The symptoms could be suggestive of muscle tension headache. You could take medications such as amitriptyline or dosulepin tablets.

If symptoms persist, you may get an MRI scan of brain done for further evaluation.

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,
