This has been the second time this has occured in the last two months. Taking over the counter stuff doesn't put a dent in it. I was wondering should I bother to go to the doctor or am I just being a hypochondriac.

It does sound like a migraine. I would keep a journal & see what triggers them. It could be stress, lights, food or exercise...
Lying in a dark room, massage, soothing music, acupuncture or an ice pack works.
If your migraines persist, have a doc prescribe you something stronger.

I was having migraines for a while when I was taking a certain type of birth control. I would experience pain that felt like it was right behind my eyes and radiating back across my temples. Sensitivity to light and nausea are symptoms of migraines. My doctor said that people who have migraines most usually say they just feel like shutting off the lights and putting a pillow over their heads - which is exactly what I would do.
A really severe headache with nausea is probably a migraine. You can see your doctor about some prescription medications that might help.

Yes it sounds like a migriane..esp the excruciating part. Did you see any visual changes as well? A migraine just stops your day. The only over the counter that helps aminiscule amt in carrying the pain for me is naproxen..and i take 3 at once with an injectable presciption. I'd go esp. if you have no family history of migraine. Anything to do with a change of a nuerological sort..better safe than sorry. Then you'll have peace of mind and hopefully a better prescription

Yes, it is possible that what you are experiencing is a migraine.
I am a sufferer from severe migraines, and having gone to every doctor imaginable i suggest you first consult your GP. take note of any symptoms you may get, tingling, nausea or any others you may get and let your GP know. They may then send you to a neurologist who will be able to give you with stronger medicine for once you have the migraine, and possible a preventative medication as well.
