It sounds to me as if some blood vessels burst in your brain. It sounds awful but is very common. The trouble is if it happens when you are driving or doing something that would endanger you.
It doesn't normally show up on a CT scan because the vessels are so small.
You must go to a doctor today and tell them your symptoms because they may wish to check the pressure in your brain or do a CT. The pressure check will tell them if there is any bleeding going on PC. The CT will rule out a bleed.
If you feel numbness or tingling on one side of your body, or you lose consciousness, have difficulty swallowing, breathing or talking you must go to hospital immediately.
The pain is an indicator something is wrong, listen to your body and take it seriously.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.
I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.
I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
