You should speak to a doctor about your symptoms. You might be stressed out or need more sleep. Speak to a doctor, that will be the best answer.

I would look for what may be the catalyst for the headache. What do you do differently at work that may be causing the issue that you do not do outside of work?

If you are getting headaches all the time, it may be good to see your doctor or optician to narrow out any sickness or vision issues, especially if working with screens. Make sure you keep hydrated too.

1) Make sure that you have eaten, and that you have not consumed too much caffeine and/or sugar. 2) Note the times that these headaches occur. Are they at about the same time(s) daily? 3) Are they connected to specific work activities or interactions with certain coworkers? Being able to pinpoint times or causes can help you prepare for stress that can cause these headaches. 3) If you haven't had a physical recently, visit your doctor to rule out health causes.

Rests your eyes, or take a wAlk and just stop doing work for a few moments. Sometime staring at something too long make headache come. Move the body so the blood doesn't just stay in one place.. Doing work my strain your body for a long periods at times. Stress also can induce headaches too, take some time off during lunch break or even just walking for a few minutes might lessen the strain. Or you can take a panadol pill if it helps out. Hope those out there doing work to not stress yourself out too much and take care

Sometimes, it just means that you are having a rough day or there is something at work that is bothering you. It is important to track down what is exactly causing the headache. Is it the nature of the job, a specific task, the environment, etc...? By having a self check-in to yourself throughout the day, you can pinpoint the source of this headache and deal with it accordingly. For example, if the headache is caused from a specific task, think about whether if the task is necessary, if there is a more efficient/alternative way to do that task, and if you possibly need help. Those are the kind of questions to ask.
