First you need proper clinical examination.Headache may be due to many reasons like post traumatic sequel,tension,hypertension,eye problem,cervical spine spondylosis etc.
You need few routine investigations like routine hemogram,RBS(Random blood sugar),Lipid profile,Renal function test,Liver function test,cervical spine AP/lateral view(to rule out spondylotic changes).
MRI of brain with angiography should also be done.It will rule out any organic lesion in brain.Requirement of further investigation depend upon findings.
Tension headache should also be rule out as it is the commonest cause of headache.
You need proper evaluation by a neurologist.Treatment depend upon findings.
