Brief Answer:
Probably migraine

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms can be related to migraine.
I recommend using an anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
If the symptoms continue, you should take prescription painkillers.
In such a case, you should see a neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hope my answer was helpful.
