Question 3.5 year old son with VP shunt- storm headache?

Hi!
My son is Gavin, shunted for hydrocephalus at 1 week old due to IVHs, has been getting occasional headaches (maybe 5 or 6 since he turned three), I think I am noticing they happen when we have storms passing through. Sometimes he vomits. I don't 'feel' like there's any valve or clog problem, because he's unhappy for a few hours then just fine again. Is this normal? Could he have a migraine? Is it caused by the storm's low pressure? Should I call the NS? Does tylenol help? Any other med help?
