Migraine: Sounds like a migraine headache. Have you had these before? Any other symptoms, like weakness? Have you tried any over the counter headache medicine or anti-inflammatories? Sleep is often the best treatment for headaches. If these are recurring or lasting for several hours to days, then you should see for doctor about it.

See the doctor: Severe headache with nausea and vomiting could be secondary to many causes, but I think you have to see the doctor ASAP.

Migraine headache: You have Classic Migraine headache symptoms. Do you have history of it? If you have Excedrine Migraine Medicine, please take it. Otherwise regular Tylenol (acetaminophen) will do, Drink liquids only. Rest in calm , quiet and dark place for a while.

Migraine: I'm sorry that you are experiencing a migraine headache. Go to a dark room , take advil if you can eat or tylenol (acetaminophen) if you can't. There are very good medications for this and also it is likely a family member also had this problem Find a neurologist to evaluate this headache.
