It looks like migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query. Your symptoms looks more like migraine headache.

You can try these home remedies:
- Ginger: Ginger tea, ginger and lemon juice or can apply a paste of ginger powder and 2 tablespoons water on your forehead for a few minutes to provide quicker relief.

- Exercises: Basic neck stretches, rotation of neck can help reduce the pain.

- Cold/hot packs: Applying an ice pack to the back of your neck can give relief from a migraine, since the cold from the ice helps reduce inflammation that contributes to headaches. Also, it has a numbing effect on the pain. Soaking your feet in hot water also helps get rid of a headache.

- Apples or apple cider vinegar can be used for migraine. They help restore the acid-alkaline balance in the body. Mix half cup of apple cider vinegar with half cup of water and boil the mixture in a covered pan. Drink the mixture with a pinch of lemon juice.

There are tablets (triptants, beta blockers, etc) which are given for migraine and for prevention but they are all prescription drugs so I would suggest you to meet your physician if the symptom is persists or worsens.

I hope this answered your query.
