If your having lefd sided headache and you don't want to see a bright light, you can consider this a migrain? thank you

Possibly: Possibly but not necessarily. Localized headache with photophobia or sensitivity to light is not uncommon with migraine, but migraines typically also involve additional changes such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sound senstivity, and sometime visual disturbances or even blood pressure changes. Futher history and medical consultation would be needed for diagnosis.
