Brief Answer:
It can be primary headaches like tension headache.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

It seems from the history that you are having heaviness of head which increases on certain activities and you also have anxiety and refractive error of -2.5 dioptres.

Since heaviness of head is associated with anxiety primary headaches like tension headache or migraine or cluster headache needs to be ruled out.
Since you are also having refractive error any change in this refractive error has to be estimated and corrected as refractive errors can also cause headache.

As of now you can take analgesic drugs for pain relief and later you need yo consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
