Migraines: Migraines headaches are very common. Usually throbbing severe headaches associated with light and noise sensitivity. Triggers of headache include poor sleep, stress, hormonal changes and tyramine, or nitrates in diet. The perceived swollen area could be due to muscle spasm. Please, check with your physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
