Well, that’s… annoying, to say the least! At least you know you’ve done all you can do at this point. There’s so many things that might be going on for you right now (Considering– Steam forms, impending beta tests, opening Discords, COVID vaccine related fatigue, etc.) that I woudn't be entirely surprised if it was psychosomatic? Not that it helps you, I suppose!
Still, it's a good idea to get it looked at, considering your history! At least then you’ll have a degree of certainty that nothing’s physically wrong, ideally. A lot of your post seems to echo the frustration and anxiety of not being able to work at full capacity, and what that may imply. In this situation, surely you can feel justified to rest a bit, take some painkillers. Is there anything non-work/anxiety related that you can do in these stressful situations? I guess playing video games/browsing Reddit must be a kind of work for you at this point!

There are so many factors that I'd say it's blatantly obviously psychological/anxiety-based... but there's always the niggling but what if?! that my mind latches onto and runs with, building the anxiety which makes the headaches worse which gives the demons more ammo to use for their irrational arguments...
I will just try and take things easy for a bit, though; forcing myself at this point wouldn't lead anywhere good. Annoyingly playing games seems not to be enough of a distraction, so my thoughts spiral and my mind works itself up. So I've been trying to do creative stuff, which is at least somewhat distracting! Sometimes...
