Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. It is better to see a doctor, as you feel that the nature of headaches have changed and are different from your usual migraines.

In migraine, the headache could be one-sided or on both sides and it lasts for four hours or more. There could be nausea or vomiting along with headaches and there is increased sensitivity to light and noise.

If there is a doubt regarding the diagnosis, a brain scan should be done.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
