Headaches or migraines while trying to learn something new?

Does anyone experience headaches or migraines while trying to learn or remember new information.

I have it most of the time, when I learn something new (information that requires memorization). I started having memory problems around age 6, and started developing headaches around age 9. It was frequently associated with learning. I haven't thought much of it. I even came up with a theory that it happens because too much information enters my mind at the same time and I can't process it as quickly as I could have so my brain sends warning signals to take it easy. Sort of like an emergency break on a conveyer. I guess I compared "excessive" learning with sensory overload. It doesn't matter how information is received (through reading or listening). Even though, if it's received in a form of an image I might have better time processing it, but, maybe, it's because it's sort of "compressed", so when I receive a large amount of information, my brain perceives it as a small amount.
I can't seem to find anything about it at this moment. I would like to find out if anybody researched the issue. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has this problem.

Do you have this issue?
Can you direct me to some resources about it?
 
Only when I've been studying hard for a few hours, or if I'm trying to concentrate through a bad environment, but I think those still fall in the "normal" range of study headaches. I never looked it up though, I may go do a search and see if I can find something for you.
