Should I Be Worried As I Am Having A Headache During My Pregnancy Period?

Hello, I am 17 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have had a headache since yesterday that has continued to worsen. It started off by feeling like a bruise on my forehead/ T-zone. It has progressed to a full blown headache, and the skin is very sensitive to the touch. Tylenol (500 mg) has not helped and I feel a bit disoriented. I am recovering from an ear infection and still have some fluid in my middle ear. I did have pre-eclampsia with my first, but my blood pressure has been normal so far with this pregnancy. Is this something to watch and wait?
