Hello,
You may be describing something referred to in headache medicine as an ATYPICAL MIGRAINE with complex features.
Because of the FOCAL nature of your symptoms (LEFT sided body) I am of the opinion, you will need to see a neurologist or headache specialist.
A further workup to rule out a vascular component possibly giving you symptoms seen in strokes and TIA's is indicated in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
