You would like to know whether you should be examined to find out the reason for your headaches.
Migraine is a recurrent, throbbing, very painful headache, often affecting one side of the head and sometimes accompanied by vomiting or by distinct warning signs including visual disturbances.
Given the symptoms that you described, it doesn’t seem likely that you are experiencing migraine attacks. You may be experiencing a headache caused by increased blood pressure. You may consider seeing a cardiologist or neurologist to find out more about diagnosis and treatment.
Please keep in mind that I am trying to provide you with medical information here. I am not able to give you medical advice online. Please contact your doctor or a qualified healthcare provider such as a cardiologist or neurologist to learn more about treatment options.
