Dear K:

Based on your previous threads, I’d say that it is childhood anxiety that affects your body, causing these headaches. Anxiety is fear that keeps being experienced over time. One result is muscles tightening, contracting over long period of time. That causes pain.

Quality psychotherapy will help, daily aerobic exercise, healthy habits, better choice making, relaxing yoga, relaxing mindful meditations (Mark Williams’ mindful meditation series worked for me), perhaps tai chi with the right teacher. These are few things that come to my mind.
