HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you have not experienced a headache as severe as this one before then you need to see your doctor or a doctor to be assessed.
We are always taught that a person who states that they are experiencing the worse headache they ever had should be seen as soon as possible.
Imaging of the brain to rule out a structural reason, may be needed. In most persons it is normal but it needs to be done.
I hope this helps
