Hi my dad has gone to the doctors and they said he has migraines but he has almost every symptom of intracranial pressure what doctor should i go to?

Neurology/anesthesio: Migraines can often mimic increased intracranial pressure; diagnosis is done by spinal tap but there is a risk of the headaches getting worse. Consult a neurologist or anesthesiologist.
