Hi
Sometimes tension headache/cervicogenic headache must be caused due to trigger points in cervical region also.
To relieve stress, breathing exercises and meditation would help.
If it's still there after doing this exercises, you need to get treated by physiotherapist who could assess your condition better.

Please see a physiotherapist
