Brief Answer:
Suggestive of vascular headache.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms, which are suggestive of vascular headache. This tends to get aggravated with physical exertion.

We also need to exclude a urinary tract infection (UTI), in view of increased frequency of urination. This can be done by getting a complete urine examination done.

For now, you can take naproxen or ibuprofen tablets. You should get better in a few days.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
