Most probably muscle tension headache
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. The most likely diagnosis in this case is muscle tension headache, affecting the scalp muscles. You would get better with medications such as ibuprofen or diclofenac tablets.
However, if the headache becomes severe, or if you develop vomiting, then, a brain CT scan should be done.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
