Brief Answer:
Vascular headache or migraine
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Looking at your description and nature of headache ( throbbing ) might be related to Migraine or vascular headache or gaint cell arteritis of superficial vessels.
In my opinion you should consult a neurologist for physical examination and an MRI or MRV to establish a diagnosis.
Meanwhile you can take acetaminophen for symptomatic relief.
Try to identify any trigger for headache and avoid it.
Take rest in quiet room during headache.
Hope this answers your question
