Hi,
As you said, these may me the episodes of migraine headache also, however, there are some cardinal features of migraine like - the throbbing nature of headache, associated nausea, worsening of headache on exposure to lights and sounds. I would rather suggest that a brain imaging will be desirable in your case as you had meningitis previously.
