Could just blood flow after a year of not exercising cause a headache? Are there any other low impact exercising regimens that will help me lose some of the weight I put on?

I have an alarming family history of heart conditions so this is really quite important.
I don't mean to alarm you but I used to have headaches (a crushing sensation) and ringing in ears (tinnitus) and I tried to get back exercising.

Now a year and three months after injury I have near enough permanent earache/headache and have been told this is occipital neuralgia. Just be very careful!
