Brief Answer:
rule out migraine first

Detailed Answer:
Hi

This type of pain is usually migraine, but as you donot have past history of this kind of pain, it is not likely.

It might be just due to spasm of muscle, which is causing pain or some thing which needs to be evaluated.
Try anti-inflammatory medicines for few days, and if not better, see a physician for further evaluation.

Hope this will help

Take care
