Your prolactin levels are quite high. Do you have any visual abnormality as well. Are you taking any drugs.
Headache and high prolactin levels can be due to a secretory pitutary tumor.
Discuss with your doctor your drug history (if you are taking any). Visual field testing would be helpful. MRI of brain to see pitutary would aid in diagnosis .
Please discuss it with your doctor.
I hope it helps.
