The easy answer is Stress…. Finding the cause of the stress that is causing your headache will require some investigation. Headaches can be caused by physical things like neck and back pain, joint dysfunction of the neck or jaw. Chemical things like changes in medication, hydration, oxygenation of tissue, lack of food or food sensitivities or allergies. It can also be emotional things like work stress, family or financial stress. Or all of the aforementioned.
