Pain with those characteristics is not consistent with headache due to a cerebral vascular accident (stroke or ruptured aneurysm). Take OTC analgesic as needed for a couple days should be all you need for now.

Your episodic head pains could well be a post COVID-19 consequence, and has some flavor of a migraine equivalent. Nothing in your post is consistent with stroke or aneurysm symptomatology. Since this is of recent onset, might use OTC approaches currently, but if persistent, see your doctor as needed.

I had covid back in Dec. 2020. Very mild only loss of taste and smell no other symptoms. Today I woke with a stuffy nose and slightly scratchy throat. Can you get covid twice and if so, how soon after initial diagnosis? Could this be allergy or cold?
