Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be due to underline anxiety. In that case, you can try any antidepressant like amitriptyline or benzodiazepine. This would help you to control anxiety symptoms and headache you are getting due to this. You can also try relaxation exercise, that would keep to relax.
