If you are nauseated and having problems with light and/or sound making it worse, it's a migraine.
Otherwise, may be a "cluster headache" which run for days in clusters. If you are taking over-the-counter headache medication, they contain caffeine which, while good for headaches, causes "rebound headaches." Those are when the caffeine wears off, the blood vessels in your head expand again and your headache is back.
Biggest headache in your life = go see dr.

You'd know if you had a real migraine. A migraine can make you puke, pass out, etc. A real migraine will cause you to stay in bed in the darkest room of the house and not do anything but lie there and feel like you're dying.
Sounds to me like you just have a really bad headache. Also, if it has lasted this long, I would guess that you have a tension headache caused by some knotted muscles in your back. Take a tylenol and go get a massage. Ten bucks says that the massage will get rid of your headache.

Acidity/liver hyperactivity is main cause of h/a.
Alternate systems of medicines will only help you.
Pl try simple acupressure given below, if fails do acupuncture.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.

If they don't go away consider going to a doctor. A muscle relaxer pill may do the trick.
