Brief Answer:
Blood pressure changes, or common type headaches.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
Since MRI resulted negative, yours is not a serious condition that may cause any harm.
Possible explanations of your headaches include changes in blood pressure, tension type headaches, or cluster headaches.
First, there is need to monitor your blood pressure for few days.
If no blood pressure related headaches, the cause remains one of common type headaches and treatment with over-the-counter painkillers should help relieve them.
Hope I have been of help.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
