Is this a migraine?

by liz0629, Jul 13, 2009 07:56AM
Last week I began experiencing vertigo, the feeling of my body swaying.  Then I began having intese headaches, as if someone was squeezing my head, sometimes it's only on one side of the head and at other times it's on the sinus area.  The pain spreads to my neck and shoulders.  I feel almost 100% if I lie down, the headache remains but the vertigo doesn't, but once I begin walking the vertigo gets worse.  This past weekend I went into the ER because of the headache, an IV was placed on me with a combination of two meds, one for the vertigo and one for the migraine, the headache went away but 20 min after leaving the hospital I got the vertigo.  I usually get out of bed feeling normal and about 1 hour after moving around I get the vertigo and then the migraine.  I also get ringing in the ears and brain fog.  Sometimes it feels as if one side of my face is a bit numb.  I've had MRIs done of the head and cervical spine and it's all normal.  Several bloodwork has been done which is also normal.  Today it's so bad I can't even look straigt anymore, the sunlight makes the headache worse.  I had migraines in the past but not like this.  I wonder if this is migraine or something else.  If it's migraine, can it be causing the vertigo?
