What Causes Migraines And Severe Coughing?

I know this is super long, so I probably won't get answers. But I need your help.
I have been having migraines for 2-3 months. I have been to many doctors. They all have given me medicine for it. I recently (3 weeks ago) started taking Elivil, an antidepressant known to treat migraines. I was told it would take 2 weeks before it starts working, and that there are side affects that come along with the medicine. This medicine has not helped at all yet. In fact, I am very sick now. Be in mind, that I have a horrible immune system, being born as a twin and 7 weeks premature. Yesterday, from 5:30 to 7 I was at my basketball game (I am a Freshman at high school) and around 6:30 my coughing started to subside, but I could not stop crying. Nothing hurt, I just could not stop. My couch told me to go in, but I told her I couldn't and she called over the athletic Trainer. Soon enough my stomach hurt, my legs and hands were shaking and were tingling, I could barely breathe steadily and I was dizzy. She brought me a juice (that I couldn't even hold) and it did help a little. She checked my pulse and massage my neck because I guess my muscles were really tense. The game had ended and we went to walk in a line to say good game to the other team, and as soon as I started walking I almost fell, so the athletic trainer practically had to support all my body weight until I sat down. The rest of the details arn't important. When I got home I lied down and almost instantly I felt better. This morning I had to stay home because my mom made me.
Anyway, I have been coughing a lot lately, I am very congested and all of today my eyes have been burning, red and droopy. I have also been pale and my Migraines have been pretty severe.
Could this be because of stress? I was informed Thursday that my friend had tried to OD on Tuesday, So I took her to the counselor. She's not too mad, but her ex is. "You can't trust schools, blah blah" is what he said. So I am not talking to either of them as of right now to see if it helps.
I went to the school earlier today to take basketball picture and my hands started shaking again, but only for a few seconds.
