Migraine: You probably need to ask your doctor for a pain medicine, but also you may want to see a neurologist for a maintenance medication to prevent these long migraine episodes. If you can't wait until the morning, the er may give you something to help you overnight.

Seek medical help: If these are uncharacteristic migraines in the sense that they are more severe and unrelenting and different from your usual headaches, you should see a doctor to have a work-up. You want to make certain that this is not something like an aneurysm or brain tumor, both deadly, but very treatable when found early.
