It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Possibly these represent neuralgic stimulation of nerves over scalp, and the most frequent source of such symptoms involves the Greater and Lesser Occipital Nerves of Arnold. Such symptoms tend to be self-limited and benign, but not invariably, so, notify your doctor and discuss options, including injections.
