Unlikely: The pressure you report is a mild elevation but you should always monitor your symptoms. If there is an increase in the severity of the headache, blurry vision, or other symptoms develop, you should be evaluated. Minimize your use of caffeine ( sodas, energy drinks in addition to coffee) and check you pressure.

Calm Down.: If you do not have High BP then this new finding could be due to Stress and headache itself. Try to treat Headache with medicine and relax, You do not need CT scan of head. Monitor BP and if still remains high without the headache, you need doctors' Examination.
