Migraine headache - anyone else?

I haven't had one in over 15 years, until last night...but it didn't feel like a typical headache, it felt like my eyes were being pushed out of their sockets. Kinda reminded me of the scene in Total Recall where Arnie and the woman got shot out onto the the surface of Mars and their eyes were protruding. I was laying in bed thinking that even if someone cut my head off the pain wouldn't abate, only a bullet in my head would help. Took 3 Aleve and finally the pain eased enough to go back to sleep but the headache was still there this morning...just not as violent.

A friend said it was possibly the changes in the gravity and pressure of the planet. Could be, I can't come up with any other explanation for it. I also noticed yesterday that I was having a hard time remembering how to spell. It wasn't constant, maybe only 6 times, but words that should not have been a problem I was suddenly unable to spell without looking them up. That might have been a pre-cursor to the headache but not sure.

Anywho, just curious if others have been having problems with violent headaches and feelings of extreme pressure in the forehead and behind the eyes?
