Pain between eyebrows

Hello, i am at a bit of a loss here. 

Starting a couple of months ago, I've been experiencing pain between my eyebrows when i engage in an activity where i need to focus. I usually notice it the most when i'm at work (reading labels while moving) and when i'm in front of a computer. Also, looking up feels somewhat uncomfortable. I know this sounds like your typical eye strain, but i've taken countermeasures to combat it(using f.lux on my computer and renewing my glasses 6 months ago, fixing my room lighting and using eye drops). Sometimes the back of my head(scalp) also hurts and it's even tender sometimes(it hurts when i lay down on a pillow)

To make things worse it feels like i'm not present when this kicks in. Like my brain goes into spiral and I end up doing something that i didn't mean to do in the first place (i.e going the opposite direction before catching myself and just the feeling of not being in full control). Also, when i feel the headache it's very difficult to focus(i feel like i'm "slow", leading to the events i mentioned above. 

My doctor thinks that it's tension headache and the cause of the tension is due to my IBS-C (he also diagnozed this). In short he wants me to take Elavil (an antidepressant) and I really don't want to rely on it. Also i would like to note that i have an eye coordination problem since i was a kid. I still have the problem today(one of my eyes tend to wander off a different direction) I do wear glasses since I can't see far away. I feel like this could be my problem, I am not sure anymore. 

I've ruled out a couple of things already, I could control my IBS with including fiber to my diet. Also, I don't think it's a decongestion issue and to make sure i've been using a humidifier in my room for a while now. 

The only thing I could think of that might be related is the fact that it might have to do with my neck. I say this because my neck do feel stiff(not enough to worry about it) at times and it used to "lock in" I changed my chair a couple of days ago and I am changing my sitting pattern to a healthier one. The only reason why i brought this up is because my work involves heavy lifting sometimes. 

Has anyone else experienced something similar before? Any type of advice would be greatly appreciated. I am only 21 years old and i'm healthy. I do go to the gym regularly and my work keeps me on my toes.

Thank you for your time.
