Brief Answer:
Thereotically nothing significant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

How frequent are the headaches? How many attacks in a day or week?
What is the severity on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being lowest and 10 highest?
Any relation with food? Any relation with menstruals?

Any headache that lasts less than one minute and increases with position could be muscular and not primary headache. May be have a spasm of the neck muscles out of which one really goes till the back of the skull/head.

Did you try to massage the area? Please do it and you may take any over the counter pain killer.

Get back to me with more details if the above simple tips do not help.
