One of the major causes of headaches is not enough oxygen (followed by dehydration). Pay attention to how shallow your breathing is and how much carbon dioxide uptake you are doing. A lot of people assume because they are deep breathing slowly that they are doing it right. But if you have your head bent or you are doing it in your car (enclosed space) you can give yourself a headache with "stale" air. The flip side is that shallow chest breathing we all move to when we cry or even breath holding without realizing it.
The light thing sounds right too. I get a headache when I cry hard or when I try to supress the emotions. I know it is a brain response.
Drinking a lot of water really can help. Or sucking a life saver. Weird but true.
