Not sure what your question is but your headaches sound like tension headaches. It could be due to muscle strain from your neck to the side of your head. If the headaches are getting worse in duration, intensity or frequency, then see your doctor. If you have a specific question that was not answered, please ask it! Best of luck to you!

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!

Your headaches seem to have a vascular component. Is there a family history of cerebral aneurysms or migraine? . A neurologist would be best to consult for evaluation of your headaches. Any tests deemed appropriate will be ordered.
