    Sounds a lot like a tension headache. It comes from tensing or straining the muscles that span from the back of your neck up to the back of your skull. Try to focus on relaxing and lengthening the back of your neck as you lift. It's hard to get the hang of, but it helps to think of "relaxing upward." in your upper back and neck as you make the effort to lift. ;)

    I would try drinking more water and doing a proper warm up if you are not already.
