This must have been frightening. I definitely would discuss with your pediatrician. Really need more details about the circumstances and if you had a head injury recently or any illicit drugs. The list of potentials of what it could be is quite extensive.

Perhaps what is termed a "thunderclap headache", which is a migraine variant. This could repeat, and if so, consider specific preventative intervention. Discuss this with your doctor.
