A headache can be a symptom of many
conditions. The symptoms you described
("headache, blurred vision, dizziness,
pain in the left side and the top of the
head"), indicate that you might be
suffering from a so called vascular
headache (migraine). A migraine includes
episodes of severe and moderate headache
lasting from several hours to several days
accompanied by heightened sensitivity to
lights and usually gastrointestinal
problems (nausea, vomiting). Another
causes for headaches include myogenic,
inflammatory, cervicogenic ones. You may
consult a neurologist for an expert
opinion.
