1. Since it occured around your menses thus could be possible menstrual headaches due to fluctuations in hormones.
2. Since there was numbness in face ( neurological sign) thus check with a Neurologist opinion and any investigation (C.T. Head).
3. In the mean time take rest in a dark,quiet room, massage and press the scalp and apply counterirritants.
