It sounds like you may have a pulled muscle in your neck from the big yawn. A pulled muscle in your neck will cause a headache because the muscles attach at the top of the head. So, if they go into spasm, that will be experienced as a headache. Perhaps apply some cold or heat to your neck/head, whichever feels better. If this does not feel better over the next couple of days, then see your doctor.
