Migraine or what?

Hi!

I have been experiencing some form of headache almost daily now for three months sometimes accompanied by visual disturbances. Headache is both sided and located at front of face and behind eyes. More specifically at the bridge of nose, cheeks, forehead and sometimes even at the upper teeth. I also sometimes get this tingling type of sensation at the bridge of nose, cheekbones and occasionally behind eyes. Pain could be described as moderate, it's not that bad i need to stop daily activities but it really makes it harder.

There is mostly two types of visual disturbances that i get and i don't really know if they are connected. I see this black small circle which has dot inside for few seconds before the onset of headache. Mostly there is not even headache but there is always significant drop of mood. I can experience this "aura" multiple times a day. The second visual problem that i have is small bright dot after blinking it doesn't have clear connection with headache. I also have lots of floaters.

This symptoms are really driving me crazy not because of pain but other symptoms. I experience drop of mood: irritated and stressed, thinking and concentrating problems before and during headache.

Additional information:
- No nausea
- Exercise does not make it worse
- light sensitivity only when seeing circle
- Pain is not pulsating. Really hard to describe it kind of dull
- Pain lasts usually for the rest of day

Could this be some sort of migraine or something more serious?
