Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

The usual cause of such burning or throbbing pain in head is either a migrainous headache,stress headache or a neuralgia.

Kindly share the details of your symptoms,your body profile,other co morbidities (if any),significant drug history and level of stress.

I hope that you had your ophthalmologist examination in the recent past.
Have your thyroid levels been checked?


For the time being,you can take a few measures.......
Rest in a quite and dark room.
Take small amount of caffeine in the form of black coffee.
Have dark chocolates.
Apply cold compress to head and neck.
You can have over the counter analgesic like Acetaminophen and Paracetamol for pain relief.
Don't be sleep deprived.
De stress yourself by meditation and yoga.


Waiting for your revert.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
