Thank you for your question and Dr Paul has given you some excellent advice already so I will try to add something rather than duplicate.
Migraine are usually quite a unique set of symptoms which can include an aura with flashing lights, nausea and a throbbing-type of headache. More commonly headaches are of the tension-type. It might be worth looking into which ones you are really experiencing as the management might vary.
Sometime if you have been stressed at work, sleeping badly or adopting a bad posture (as many of us are doing these days) it maybe that you are experiencing the latter type. In these situations, as Dr Paul suggests, seeing a physiotherapist or massage therapist might be quite helpful. Equally, acupuncture can be beneficial in these situations. Stiffness in the neck can be due to degeneration, but it might also be from inflammatory conditions or muscle tightness. I would certainly advocate seeing someone about it if symptoms persist.
We often attribute headaches and neck pain to the way we sleep! While this might be true in some cases, I believe many of us suffer from neck pain and headaches due to posture, using our phones/tablets while in bed and computers at work.
Perhaps try cutting down on using these items where possible or looking at things from an ergonomic perspective.
Good luck with your symptoms.
