Hello Lisa!
I read carefully your question and understand your concern.
I think that the headache you are having may be caused by muscular contractions, a type of tension type headache. It may be caused by anxiety or a cervical spine osteoarthrosis.
The fact that you refer to this as a new headache is a little concerning.
So I would recommend to consult with your GP and have a physical examination to exclude neurological signs. A cervical spine xray would be helpful for cervical osteoarthrosis.
If the neurological examination is abnormal a brain CT scan may be needed.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
