Can heat in the mind, tapa, be a kamma vipaka or is it Always a samphassa ja vedana, a domanassa vedana?

For me, it feels more like it can be vipaka, a dukha vedana. Like a dukha vedana it is felt like a burning kind of headache. (difficult to explain the sensation, i would say it feels like stressed mind, it feels like the brain/mind is in some way torn).

It can hold on a while and can disappear suddenly. Sometimes i think it also happens because there is to much mental striving, to much thinking. It sometimes looks like it also refers to metabolism or energy flow. I do not know really what is the cause as you see but i do not exclude it is a vipaka of being to much agressive, to much greedy earlier.

What do you think?
