Very unlikely: When you have a headache, it is important to not think of the worst scenario. Logically, one should think of the last significant health change as the source of the problem, for you it would be the "head cold", which in fact could be a minor sinus infection. That could easily explain the pressure/pain.

Probably not: There are more likely diagnoses that would cause your symptoms than a tumor.

Least likely: A tumor is not likely with these symptoms. Have your doctor check your blood pressure.
