It can be migraine.: From your description, you may have migraine. Try to take NSAIDs medication like Motrin ibuprofen And hydrate yourself. If you have any neck stiffness, fever, weakness, numbness or your headache is not improving with pain medication or getting worse, then go immediately to the emergency to be evaluated.
