See a neurologist: There are many types of headaches, including migraines, tension, cluster, occipital neuralgia, muscle strain, etc. Keep a log of the timing, duration, severity, and location of your episodes. Also try to identify any "triggers" (stress, not sleeping/eating). Take this information to a neurologist to discuss the best options for you. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/headache.html

CervicogenicHeadache: Most headache disorders are accompanied occasionally, and sometimes frequently, by neck pain. Conversely, most disorders related to anatomic disturbances of the cervical spine have an element of headache associated with them. The first symptoms are stiff neck, headache, facial pain, vision disturbances and feeling unwell.
