Hello
Thanks for your reply
Looking at your detailed description your symptoms are suggestive of certain pathological conditions related your head and neck region

For better assessment of conditions and to rule out other rare possibilities of this headache, I would advise you for an X ray PNS and an MRI with MRV.

meanwhile I would advise you to follow these guidelines
You can take anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen after consulting your doctor
avoid smoking or alcohol if you are into that.
Try to find out any trigger for such an attack and try to avoid it.

Hope this answers your question

Wish you good health
