Anything which interferes with your daily routine, causes you distress when not available and is increasing progressively is an addiction. To madtiri ate and watch porn is normal but when it starts causing you symptoms like headache it is something which needs to be taken care of.
Please consult a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Some behavioural therapy can help you with the porn addiction
Next Steps
See a psychologist / psychiatrist
