Sick headache

Hi

I read the bold part in an article some days ago. Would you say that it is a natural collocation?

I woke up with a sick headache.

Thanks,

Tom

It sounds natural to me, but note that this expression had its heyday in the 1880s. It is not used anywhere near as much anymore these days.
