Brief Answer:
Do a x-ray of neck spine and an EEG.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should get further evaluated to find the cause of your headache.
I think you should do a x-ray of the neck spine to check for spondyloarthrosis.
Also you can do an EEG to check for migraine.
Take any NSAIDs such acetaminophen or ibuprofen for headache.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Sinusitis causes headache.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Sinusitis is known to give headache mainly in the front head and in the cheeks.
The headache worsens when you bend down like reaching your shoes.
Treating sinusitis will also resolve the headache.
Treating congestion with decongestants such pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine is helpful. Prednisone and antibiotics can be used to treat it.
You can take Tylenol or ibuprofen for headache.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
