Eyelid twitching is usually not serious, but considering the headache, an eye examination is warranted. Also a visit to your family doctor. Headaches can be migraines, sinus headaches, tension headaches. etc.

This can be caused by poor sleep and high stress. Try working at those and
if it doesn't go away on its own then you can take magnesium supplements or
see an eye doctor.

Eyelid twitching is typically a benign condition associated with stress, lack of sleep, and caffeine intake. If you are having chronic headaches, would recommend that you seek medical care with your primary care physician.

You should be evaluated be an ophthalmologist or neurologist as soon as
feasible.
The twitching is very common. It is usually self limited and improves without treatment. While headaches are usually benign, it is useful to know whether they run in your family or are perhaps related to your blood pressure, sinus trouble or emotional tension. I would suggest a visit to your primary doctor.
