By : By the date of this post about a week has passed. I hope your symptoms have resolved or you saw a medical professional. For the future or for anyone reading this post, in a situation like this you should got to the urgent care or er. Seriously things such a bleed in your brain and/or stroke are dangerous and need to be ruled out. On the other hand it could have been a sinus infection with resultant headache, migraine or tension headache, etc. All the best.
