General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.

Could either be a migraine headache or one relating to your sinus. The pre-migraine aura is what you seem to have described, and if it matches a somewaht blurring in vision, milder headache than the main migraine headache, sensitivity to sound and light, etc; this could most probably be a migraine headache. I would recommend a visit to a neurologist who should be able to help you control or even suppress your migraine headaches.

Best wishes.
