Hi

This may be a case of  migraine headache or tension headache. However, this form of headache shall only be given as a diagnosis when all other possible conditions have been ruled out.

Tension headaches usually present with bilateral headaches with tightening or pain of the shoulders and neck. Tension headaches may be a strong differential given that you have also noted increased levels of stress lately. Change in bowel movement is usually a manifestation of stress.

I suggest that you have your condition assessed by your doctor so that  baseline tests may be done.

Are the headaches getting worse?

Are there any associated eye redness or nasal discharge?
