The most common reasons for this pain would include muscle strain or a vascular form of headache (like a migraine). These are mostly due to stress or inadequate rest.
Systemic problems such as that of increasing blood pressure may also initially manifest with this condition so you may also want to have your blood pressure checked.
Sometimes, this type of pain may also be the initial manifestation of fibromyalgia, which is characterized by tender spots in the body and pain along predefined points.
It is best to have this evaluated by your doctor to narrow down the possibilities. Regards and God bless.
