This all sounds, potentially, like it could be tied together. A stutter can totally be triggered by stress. People are also pointing towards neurogenic, and I would too, because of those headaches. Did you suffer a head injury before these headaches and stutter? I don't want to do the "hey, join me!" club, especially because your stuttering--overwhelming, primarily at the beginning of the word--from my amateur research, and what I briefly read, sounds like it's not neurogenic. That being said, I suffered a head injury literally in 2003, and then in 2011, after a jaw surgery, I started to get daily headaches, that ranged in pain from 4-8. (Pain scale: 4 is "okay, that's really uncomfortable, and I'm super grumpy now, but I guess I'm going to go on with my daily life because I have to" and 8 is "okay, I'm in bed crying, nobody bother me, but I'm not dying right now.") In 2014, I started to pick up on a neurogenic stutter. It has only gotten worse.

Here's what I've learned regarding the headaches, because there are tons of people who can help you regarding the stutter here, but headaches are a lot harder to find things on:

can you describe the headache to me? I mean, in explicit detail. (I'll be describing mine, and how I deal with each one, in hopes it helps.)

I get a few types of headaches, and have a different "treatment plan" for each one. Each headache type has to be treated differently. (When Mom found out I got headaches--as headaches are a family problem--she was trying to force me to treat my headaches her way, but I don't get her types of headaches, and it literally worsened things. I won't be offended if you don't take this advice. It might not help.)

So, what you're most likely experiencing at least some of the time are tension headaches. I want to start there. Tension headaches tend to feel like a band across the forehead, but some people also can feel them in their neck. My tension headaches literally will flare up and fade away throughout the day, and can last for days. (I have gone to sleep and woken up with the same one.) The most effective actual medications for these have been muscle relaxants and psych meds, but you're not in the best place to get to actual doctors. There is OTC headache specialty meds you can use. This one isn't cheap, but it shows the ingredients you're looking for. The caffeine apparently makes the ibuprofen work faster, and isn't found in most of the "migraine" labeled medications. (My prescription painkiller for headaches has caffeine in it.)

Non-med ways: you mention meditating, which is good. That's another way I try and clear out tension headaches. Trying to knock out sources of tension is the hardest way, and takes a lot of time.

Sinus headaches are a big deal right now. You'll feel a lot of pressure well, along your sinuses (my girlfriend and I feel pressure right above our eye, but I understand that's not always where everyone feels it.) Sinus headaches trigger migraines in my mother, so it's something to keep an eye on if you also get migraines. A decongestant will clear this headache type, and if you catch that you're getting them, get an OTC allergy medication until the pollen level is down in your area.

Hopefully that catches your headache types; if it's a regular migraine, there's plenty of "tips and tricks" around for that one. (The other one I get is some weird kind of headache that rests right in my temples and makes me a bit dizzy and out-of-it. It's so rare I don't have a "plan" for that one yet.)

When I was seventeen, I was able to go to therapy behind my parents' back, using interns to do it since I couldn't pay for it on my own. My GP set me up with a local practitioner, but you might be able to just ask around if you were interested in doing that, too. (Or have your boyfriend ask around?) I admit I was incredibly lucky, but it was a good program that helped me out a lot that first year. (When I turned 18, I got on my own insurance and changed to the local community mental health instead.)

I was told, essentially, since I was 17 and this was mental health, my parents didn't have to be a part of it. You could ask if your parents could be barred from it. I managed to make sure my parents never knew (about the therapy. They eventually found out I also went on antidepressants. It was a time of grand adventure for me.)

tl;dr: I know this was a super long post, and stuttering wasn't really touched on directly, but in this case, stuttering doesn't seem to be hanging out there on its own. I've found out many, many times over that nothing just happens by itself, and it's quite likely some of these things, if not all, are related. Hopefully some of this helps.

I hate migraines.

Terrible migraines --> Replaced by a feeling that something is off and that I can't feel it.
