Yes: It is possible for a flu to exacerbate headaches particularly as it seems you are prone to headaches. You want to make certain that it is the flu that you are dealing with, and if you are having the typical flu-like symptoms, that is probably the case. There are other things that can cause your symptoms like meningitis or a cerebral aneurysm. Consult your doctor if this doesn't improve.
