Throbbing sensation mostly on the left side of my head. it almost feels as if blood vessels are throbbing. migraine, sinus or something more serious ?

Maybe: Migraines are benign; however, can sometimes manifest some concerning symptoms, even stroke-like symptoms. The rule of thumb, if you have a headache that has new or different symptoms than your typical headache, that warrants re-evaluation by your doctor.
