What Causes Throbbing Headache,nausea And Vomiting?

Before I went to bed last night, I got a feeling that my head was about to hurt. I could feel mild pulsating pain on the right side towards the back of my head. I went to bed at about 2am then was awoken at 6 am with severe headache and nausea. I threw up 2X then took Advil. I went back to sleep. I woke up at around 10:30am feeling better but still with mild headache. Took another advil. I am still feeling mild throbbing headache as of 1pm. Is it just migraine? Should I see my eye doctor, could it be related to eye? I wear eyeglasses but I just wear it for driving. The grades are both less than a 100.
