One-sided throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, cold hands, sensitivity to sound and light is usually caused by migraine
headache. If there was no previous trauma to your head or
neck, this could be the possible cause. Try to avoid the triggers of the headache such as certain foods, oral contraceptives, changes in altitude, weather, lights, excessive smoking, and emotional stress. Ice packs and prescription medications may help.
