Headache: A lot of things can cause a headache and trying to figure out why you have one is almost impossible. However, i can say from an emergency prospective i would be concerned if you had a fever, it kept getting worse, it had a sudden onset, it hurt severely to move your neck or look at light, and/or it is "the worst headache of your life". If so get to a doctor asap.
