Chronic, Throbbing Headache With Dizziness. Imitrex Offering Little Relief. Is This Migraine?

I have had a headache for about a week now. Throbbing pain on the right side located at my temple. Pain worsens when I lie down, and spontaneous sharp pulsating pain occurs as well. I have found no relief in pain relievers nor my Imitrex. Today I felt in a daze & not quite myself. Does this sound like a migraine? Or should I be concerned?
