    Well, "monthly" could be a clue - it could be hormonal. There are many kinds of headaches and migraines. Cluster headaches are similar to migraines.

    My son gets "classic" migraines - he gets severe pain in the front of his head, above his eyes, sees the "aura" - like flashing lights, gets nausea and feels better after vomiting a few times, needs to be in absolute dark with absolute quiet.

    See a doctor.

    if it is monthly then more than likely it is...but really you need to give more specifics to determine what it is

    Source(s): migraines for the past 22 years.....

    If they are one sided, probably yes.
