I have the same issue. If I go outside for more than 4 or 5 min in the sun without my sun glasses on. For me the headaches started around 13, at 18 I discovered sunglasses. Now I work outside all day everyday and don't really get too many headaches. My doctor said that it was because of my eye color, they are a very light blue, any light colored eye is susposed to put you at a higher risk. The problem with this theory is that I also get bad headaches if I'm hungry and don't eat right away, and my latest problem is the rain. It didn't bother me until about a month ago, but if it's hot outside and then all of a sudden it poors and the temp drops it's an instant migrane. So I understand your pain, 4-5 min outside and I have a headache that the only way to relieve is to go inside in a very dark room and sleep. If I'm out for 10 min I'm throwing up... still haven't found a quick fix for that. Anyways I would try sunglasses, I work at a golf course and people pick on me because of my "racoon" eyes, but I don't care because it's better than throwing up. Try "eyejacket" type of sunglasses because they block more of the light
