Answers:
It doesn't mean that you need glasses necessarily, but it would be the easiest thing to check first. Getting an appointment at your optometrist is not difficult, like getting in at your dentist or your gynecologist. They can probably get you in this week yet.
If after you have your eye exam and if the possibility of needing glasses is ruled out, you can start looking at other things. There are a lot of other things that can lead to headaches such as stress, fatigue, anxiety, allergies, hormones. Lots of things...keep a journal of when you get the headaches and see if you can come up with a pattern. Are you waking up with them? Do you get them at the same time every day? How intense are they? Where does your head hurt? Is in the front, or on your temples, or at the base of head? Do they go away when you take something for them? Do you get flashes of light, or nauseated (which could mean you're getting migraines) Are you being treated with medication for other conditions? Do you have allergies or sinus troubles? Do you work on a computer during the day? Headaches could be caused a myriad of different things but, keeping a journal will help you establish a pattern and then you can talk to your family doctor and they talk to you and discuss other possible testing.
Good luck!
