Brief Answer:
See your GP then.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
Since you didn't discuss with your GP about headaches, I suggest you to do so, in order to understand better the cause, that, as discussed previously, may be tension type headache, sinusitis related headache or stress related headache.
I don't think this is a serious condition, however it could be bothersome.
GP also may guide you about medication.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
