Worst headache of my life last night

I went to bed just after 1 and turned the light out just before two. At 4am I was woken by the most awful pain in my head. I didn't feel able to get out of bed because the pain was so bad and moving made it worse.
I managed to get up for painkillers at half seven and despite taking them regularly I've had pain (although nowhere near as severe) on and off throughout the day. I've also felt nauseous and shaky It's only since early evening I've felt better tbh.
I do have the occasional migraine although the pain has never been as bad as that and I generally get an aura so an opportunity to take painkillers first and I don't have them at night either.
Any ideas what it might have been? Anyone had anything similar? I'm quite worried about going to bed tbh but will take painkillers with me tonight.

If it came on suddenly and woke you from sleep I, as a GP would be sending you for a scan. It may be nothing but a subarachnoid haemorrhage needs to be excluded.

Thank you I had an awful feeling you'd say I should see a GP and I will do my best I'm just hopeless (PTSD) around Drs/Hospital etc etc.

At least call 111 for advice but GP is definitely a good idea if you can
