Hi,
Based on the details he require fundus examination to rule out papilledema and neurological examination.
There are mainly 2 causes of morning and forehead headache . Sinus headache and idiopathic intracranial hypertension
Consult neurologist for further plan and evaluation( MRV brain , CSF study for Opening pressure)
