Sure sounds like a migraine to me. I get migraines that have been diagnosed as such by several different doctors and that respond to migraine meds in the classic fashion. And sometimes I get migraines that don't hurt. They do a bunch of other stuff, much as you describe - but the actual pain level of my migraines does vary widely. I often think that if I *just* got the pain and not all the other symptoms, they'd be a lot more tolerable. But it's the nausea, mental fogginess, visual hypersensitivity and general grogginess that make them so awful, for me.
If I were you I'd go see a doctor at some point and discuss the subject of migraines with them. If you can get a migraine abortive drug that will head off the worst of the symptoms before it really gets started, you should find that helps a lot. (It doesn't totally fix them - I still get some of the grogginess and mental fuzziness even after taking them, but it's a lot more manageable, and ends a lot quicker.)
In the mean time - going to bed is good. Crawling into a dark hole and not coming out until one feels better is the traditional way of handling migraines, after all.

Good luck, and I hope it eases soon!
