Typical symptoms of: Meningitis of any type usually includes neck stiffness and pain, fever, perhaps confusion or disorientation, and perhaps nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. If you actually have a migraine, advil (ibuprofen) would be unlikely to affect it. Since you seem quite concerned, suggest get to a local hospital er and get both an answer and treatment.
