Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This presentation sounds very much like exertional migraine. I would recommend trying indomethacin for pain relief. However, if you have never had headache before or if indomethacin does not afford any relief, it may be better to go in for a brain scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
