Brief Answer:
Blood pressure should be checked.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query. Head ache on back side can be due to hypertension. So it should be ruled out by checking your blood pressure levels. Lipid (cholesterol), blood sugar levels and haemoglobin levels in blood should be checked also.
If all these are within normal levels then it can be due to repetitive stress injury. Taking NSAIDs like Ibuprofen and avoiding high pillows will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Blood pressure level is so low. Taking salty fluids like soups, butter milk etc will be helpful. You can also take Acetaminophen 500 mg for relief of head ache.

Total cholesterol is with in normal levels. But Triglycerides is raised. You can take omega 3 fatty acids suppliments and garlic pearls capsules for this.
If there is persisting hypertension then you can start with Telmisartan in lower doses like 20 mg and increase the dose if not getting controlled.
You can take Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for head ache. You can also apply Diclofenac liniment.
