Two problems: While I can come up with very uncommon conditions that would connect the two problems, headaches are more commonly due to other problems. Those problems can range from sinus infections to temporal-mandibular joint problems to a host of other issues. See your physician who can examine you and evaluate the headaches

Comorbidity: It is a comorbidity, but not a causality. Headache is a serious and complex neurologic disorder. This condition must be professionally diagnosed and managed. Rec.: see an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation to avoid unnecessary future pain and suffering. The blocked salivary gland issue needs to be addressed and solved regardless.

A member asked:
I feel large lumps on both sides of my neck, under my jaw. I'd say they are about an inch or so wide. Could those be my submandibular salivary glands? They don't really move. They are not hard, but not squishy either. They don't feel like lymphnodes?
