Hello dear
I understand your concern.
Severe headache could be due to hypertension, migraine.
I would suggest to take treatment under advise of neurologist.
Following treatment will help you

Injection tramadol intamascularly for fast relief
1. Pain relieving medication:
- first use:Ibuprufen 500 mg three times a day or you can use aspirin or acetaminophen
- If not responds, you can use sumatriptan, combination of ergots and caffine
- In resistance case you can use opioids and glucocorticoids like prednisolone
- You can put ice pack on head.
Stay hydrated
eat health diet.

Life style changes should be done as below
1. Enough sleep
2. Muscle relaxation exercise
3. Rest and relaxation
4. Keep headache diary: Identify trigger factor and which treatment is effective
Alternate therapy:
Acupuncture therapy
Massage and music therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Vitamin B-2 and CO Q can be useful in relieving pain.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
