Brief Answer:
Brain scan is required.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

These symptoms of episodic headache may suggest Migraine or even atypically, seizures may present like that. I suggest that a brain MRI and an Electroencephalogram( EEG) should be done. That would help towards the diagnosis.

Hope that helps. I shall be glad to have you in follow up if you have further questions.
