I think you are telling me to enlarge the size of the header. I have self-published several books, and have never changed the size of the default header, but I did not have this problem of the first line of the regular text being jammed up against the header. What I have been doing is lowering the text on each page by one or two Enter strokes, but that is obviously cumbersome and time-consuming, and I fear the amount of space produced is not always the same. There is no other way to set the amount of space appearing between header and first line of regular text?
