Headaches are not caused by spinal issues. They are a brain problem. However, there can be feedback from the upper cervical cord (c1-3)and discs that can push on it. Typically, a mild disc bulge does not cause this. If the headaches are short lasting and only on one side, this can be occipital neuralgia which can be caused by cervical problem. Typically tingling on top of the head with headaches is something called alloying which is the sensation of pain where there shouldn't be. This occurs after about 60 minutes after an onset of migraine. Of course, this can also be cervicogenic headache. Talk to a pain specialist who could do cervical trigger point injections and/or greater occipital nerve blocks which could provide some temporary relief followed by physical therapy.
