I slept 6 hours last night. thanks. robin

Hi,
Given your description of a headache triggered by a stressful event, I would say that a tension-type headache is the most common possibility. It is a benign headache often triggered by stress and anxiety. For the moment I would suggest simply rest and an over the counter medication such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
