CLECHING: There could be many reasons for getting headaches but the stress of traveling in the city by bike or bus may cause you to clench your teeth putting excessive pressure on the facial and neck muscles.

Anti-inflammatory: You may want to try applying moist heat to your neck 2-3 times per day and start a short course of anti-inflammatory such as Advil or Aleve (naproxen). Make sure you have a good lumbar support if you sit in a chair several hours per day. This will help with posture and will reduce stress on the neck. If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks or worsens I recommend seeing your doctor.
