If they come basically at the same time periods every day, are concentrated on one side of your head (often feeling like they're behind your eye), last a fairly short amount of time, and don't make you light- or sound sensitive...they're probably cluster headaches (also known as suicide headaches, and I can tell you from personal experience it's an apt nickname). If they come at various times, last a longer time, and make you want to lie down in a quiet area, they're probably migraines.

Either way, see your doctor right away - he'll probably send you to a neurologist (and if he doesn't, maybe you should find another doctor) and they CAN get you some relief.
