Hi,

Your history and symptoms are suggestive of migraine. Because migraine has a particular cause and in your case it seems to be the strain on GIT. Migrainous headache is aggravated by the muscular exercise and movement, as is suggestive of your symptoms. Pounding or pulsating type of headache is characteristic of migraine. You need to visit a general physician and also get your blood pressure checked for two to three times in a week to rule out hypertension.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
