Tension headaches: need to be evaluated by your doctor and the same goes for the other symptoms you mention to rule out medical conditions. If this is an anxiety disorder you can see a clinical psychologist to learn some stress management techniques. Peace and good health.

Depends: Is this a new or different headache? Are they are concerning symptoms other than headache that are not typical such as vision loss, sensory changes, weakness etc. ? In other words, if this is not a typical headache, then always worth having it checked out.
