AW2725DF, headaches related to refresh rates
I have recently got the AW2725DF and have been experiencing some inconsistent issues with regards to headaches that may be related to framerate.
I have been playing Valorant and Fallout: New Vegas for extended periods of time and received no issues at all with eyestrain or headaches, however upon playing Tekken 8 (which is locked to 60fps) after about an hour or two I felt some light headache and had to take a break.
When using the monitor to watch some YouTube videos (which are 30-60fps) on the side while I am doing other stuff on other monitors I received immense headaches and pain in one eye after about an hour or two of the monitor being on and me not even directly looking at the monitor all the time. I have also watched some films and series on the monitor but didn't experience any issues which is odd.
I had an eye test and no issues were found with either eyes. I am using the Display Port and the refresh rate is always set to 360Hz. Are there any particular settings that would aid in issue?

Certain issue could be person specific. I suggest to contact a medical doctor. As some people can be allergic to foods, certain persons can have sickness when expose to blue light emissions. Was your eye test specifically with blue light exposure?

Do you use VRR (gsync/freesync)? It could be because of flickering gamma...

Not really.
Apparently some people are more sensitive to it than other. However, read comments from this video review. Someone in the comments said that Blue-Light-Blocking-Glasses help with the eye strain issue caused by this monitor, however I agree with Zorz Gaming’s opinion on - why should we pay close to 1 thousand for a monitor that causes the eye strain and then to fix the problem we need to buy glasses too? We are buying a premium monitor for a premium price - it shouldn’t be causing issues with your eyes to begin with. Also on top of it - the lack of DLDSR capability if you have Nvidia graphics card is somewhat upsetting. We just dropped £1000 on Nvidia 4080 Special Founders Edition lol

@UnderCoverDog DLDSR is monitor independent. It works with any monitor as long as the video card supports DLDRS.
DLDSR is currently limited to RTX 2000 and RTX 3000 series cards, so it will not work on your RTX 4000 series card.
However, that has nothing to do with the monitor but all to do with Nvidia driver support.
