I've been having a poky headache for about 30 days. I am 23 years old, have high cholesterol, and low vitamin D. The headache is at a level 3 on a scale of 1-10 and feels like someone is poking my scalp in different places. I also felt slightly nauseous early this morning, but my vision is fine. What could be causing this headache and should I be concerned?
