Is this serious?

For the past few months, i have been having serious headaches from wearing extensions.When i noticed where the headaches were coming from, i took out the extensions.But i also get a headache if i put my hair in a pony tail or tie anything too tight to my head like a bandana. Usually, two advils(not one) will make the headache disappear.If i hesitate to take an advil it slowly turns into a fever.I was wondering if this is a sign of something else or just from pressure to my head?Because i have been wearing extensions for a while but this only strated earlier this year(but i also started wearing them more often this year).But now that i stopped wearing them, they basically stopped except when my hair goes into a pony tail then it returns.Do i need medical treatment for this or just stop extensions and ponytails? This is not like a usual headache, my head just feels heavy.The front and back of my head dosen't hurt but my temperature goes up and its all in the middle of my head and i feel like 100pounds have been added to my head.

Hi,

This does not sound serious. Do you have any other symptoms?

Avoid hair extensions, bandanas and tying your hair too tight as it puts pressure on your head and thus the headache. I would suggest if these headaches continue please get yourself clinically evaluated by a physician.
