Confused is it a migraine or a headache

Hi, can anyone help i have been suffering from really really bad headaches for the past 3 months lasting around 24 hours, but for the past 1 week they have worsened from once or twice a week.

Sometimes the pain is so tense I cant move because sometimes if i move the throbbing pain in my head becomes worse.

So been a single mother of 3 is very difficult when i get the pain. I am on no med because I have not seen a doctor.

If this a migraine what type is it or is it just a headache?
