There are side effects with every medication, so it's always a benefit vs. risk situation. FWIW, one of my first (and worst) migraines sent me to the ER too. The pain sent my BP dangerously high, but they gave me some kind of rescue med that worked. What you describe sounds like it could definitely be migraine; I think I mention earlier in this thread (haven't looked ) about acephalgic (or silent) migraine—that have an aura, but not necessarily any pain associated with them. There's also silent migraine with vertigo (a.k.a. vestibular migraine). <---Check this one out and see what you think. Migraines can most definitely be multi-day affairs. I'm totally wiped out the day after—kinda like a hangover. Not sure if I understand your last paragraph. TVs & Computers can cause something called computer migraine. It's possible to have more than one (and possibly several different) migraine types—individually, or simultaneously. Do you ever lose vision in one eye? Doc

IllPn
I think balance problems and vertigo can also be caused by neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy. I have had migrane aura in the form of visual disturbance. It was a zigzac lightening bright ring in the visual field in one eye. The ring got bigger and bigger and finally diisapeared out to the side. This was an aura without headache. I have since had different type oh headache. I very often , should say regularly, wake up with sensory symptoms that so far has not been explained, in spite of EEG monitoring twice. Doctors thought it was simple partial seizure at first, but that is luckily ruled out. One doctor, a neuromuscular neuropathy specialist, said she thought this symptom was a MIGRANE VARIANT. I was wondering, perhaps this was similar to your symptoms? Did you ask the neurologist to have a 72 hour video monitored EEG ? Or a simple one night sleep study? A lot of symptoms can be detected with this. So, I too, am learning that migrane can come in so many different forms. Dr. Smith IS A SPECIALIST ON THIS.
