Was this a migraine?

Saturday I took DS to the kiddie pool in town. We were there for 2 hours. I was really stupid and didn't have sunglasses or a hat. Cue squinty eyes for two hours straight. When we left the entire front of my forehead was hurting. Like a sharp pain too.

We get home around 12:30, I shove a sandwich down my gullet because I hadn't eaten all day. I take 2 Alieve and go lay down. And suddenly I thought I was going to meet San Pedro. Severe pain concentrated in my forehead, nausea, sensitivity to light. I FINALLY fell asleep and 2 hrs later woke up and felt fine. Migraine or sun poisoning?

I've never had a full blown migraine, but a few of my family members get them. Your description sounds like how they describe them.

I've only ever gotten ocular migraines. I do, however, get pretty bad headaches from the high heat/sun.
