Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, I think you might be having a type of headache called tension headache. It is caused by tightened muscles in the back of the neck and scalp resulting from inappropriate rest, overexertion, stress, anxiety and fatigue just to name a few. Treatment may involve taking pain relievers, muscle relaxants or antidepressants.
In addition to that, it is also important to see an eye specialist to rule out any accommodation problem.

I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
