Urgent attention: Im not sure your age but 2 of the potentially lifethreatening causes of these symptoms are meningitis or brain haemorrhage (may also be migraine or neck issue). Better safe than sorry so please if have not done so consult at doctor urgently to exclude these possibilities as it sounds like your pain is severe.
