Possible migraine: Possible migraine. Unilateral, throbbing are not enough criteria for diagnostic of migraine. Check if there is sensitivity to light or noise, nausea or vomiting. Also if migraine is running in the family. The red flags in your situation would be sudden onset and accelerating pattern. If it is migraine the treatment is available.
