Suggest Treatment For Left Sided Headache

Hi, I have been having a headache for 3 days now. It s like a mix of tension headache, muscle from the neck which goes up to the head kind of pain & eye fatigue. Mostly it s just on one side. today it s on the left side only. I have taken pain relievers however I would like to know what this is. It comes & goes. It s distracting. Stress level 6/10 as I will be moving. Hormones perhaps cause my period is coming up.
