Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to ice pack headache, which is the benign type of headaches.
Anyway, considering your age, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a brain MRI coupled with some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka,
