Yes it does sound like hemiplegic migraine. Migraine is characterized by a preceding aura. The symptoms of aura can be visual, auditory, slurred speech, tiredness, and dizziness.
Calcium channel blockers like verapamil are prescribed as preventive medication for migraine. It is very important that when you get these attacks to lie down in a dark quiet room and apply cold compresses to the head.
