Numbness In Head, Face, Neck, Blurred Vision, Migraine. Taking Torodol. CT Scan, EKG Normal. Cure For Migraine?

Have been experiencing numbness in my head,face,neck, lips along with blurred vision and dizziness . went to hospital. They ran blood work and did ct scan and chest x-ray and EKG. They said everything was normal but my hemoglobin was way to low. Right after ct scan I had a full blown migraine at the hospital. They treated it with torodol. After I got home my head did it again. they only last 1 to 2minutes at a time. The migraine came back again last night at work. what is wrong with me?

Hi
thanks for your query
migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light
Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. including vision disturbances, that are a warning sign that a bad headache is coming. Not every person with migraines has an aura
there is no specific cure for migraine headaches. The goal is to treat your migraine symptoms right away, and to prevent symptoms by avoiding triggers.
A headache diary can help you identify your headache triggers. Then you and your doctor can plan how to avoid these triggers.
If you have frequent migraines, your doctor may prescribe medicine to reduce the number of attacks.
such as amitriptyline
beta blockers
valproic acid
