Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry, as normal MRI and CT scan have excluded all serious underlying causes for your symptoms.
The most likely cause for your symptoms could be muscle tension headache.
The useful medications for treating your problems could be amitriptyline or dosulepin.
Mild massage of head would also help.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
