Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the cause of headache needs to be evaluated.The headache can be due to stress,high BP,migraine etc.The high BP needs to be ruled out.If it is normal then it is ruled out.Avoid tension or stress.Take paracetamol tablet which is safe in pregnancy.Take good rest and healthy nutritional diet.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day.Migraine also presents with headache on one side with giddiness and vomitings.I suggest you to consult a neurophysician and get the opinion.Best regards...
