When you can take a 20 minute walk everyday for a week or two without causing a head ache, then you can increase it to 25 or 30 minutes for the next two weeks of head ache free repetitions.

Otherwise, you risk regressing.
Interesting you say this...

I progressed from walking, to stationary bike for 20 minutes this week, and have noticed that about 2-3 hours after my bike workout I develop a very light headache. I mean, on a scale from 1-10, I'd rate them a 1 or 2. But they are here. Does that mean I am over-doing it?
