First, where is the headache located? In and around your temples? Behind the eyes? Top of your skull or Back of the head and/or the neck?
Is it constant pain or more "pounding", getting worse when you perform physical activity, hear loud sounds or music, or look at bright lights?
It’s located in the front of my head and it gets worse with physical activity and bright lights. 😞
Yep, that's a classic migraine alright.
I copypasted this from Brave Leo:
"Photophobia, or extreme light sensitivity, is a common symptom of migraine and is one of the criteria used to diagnose migraine.2 Up to 80% of people who get migraines have photophobia along with their headaches, and many of those people are light sensitive even when they are not experiencing other migraine symptoms.1 Light sensitivity can begin in a migraine attack even before the head pain starts, and some individuals may experience photophobia even when they are not experiencing other migraine symptoms, with the most severe cases involving daily, disabling sensitivity to light.2 Other causes of photophobia can include ocular conditions, central nervous system disorders, and blepharospasm.0 People with both migraine headaches and photophobia may find relief in a dimly lit room during a migraine attack.3"
Test yourself to see if the symptoms are reduced if you turn down the lights around you, draw curtains, and reduce the light intensity on your mobile devices and computer monitors etc.
Give yourself at least 30 minutes is a dimmed or darkened room to see if it makes any difference.
Let me know if this helps any, as I have other suggestions.

Stay away from lights and sound. Get to bed and cold pads in forehead.
