Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no threat to your life, and you need not worry.
However, I feel you should go to the hospital, and get a CT scan of the head done, as in rare cases, small bleeding inside the brain may cause similar symptoms.
But in most cases, CT scan would be normal, and it would turn out to be a migraine headache.
For pain relief, you can take analgesics such as ibuprofen or diclofenac.
I hope it helps. Please get abck if you have any more queries.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
