Need to look careful: Do you smoke or take birth control pills or worse yet both you might be at risk of stroke although there are migraines without pain there are multiple other possibilities seizure tumor aneurysm i would get evaluated by a neurologist today.

See neurologist: If you are a patient of mine i would probably refer you to a neurologist with the symptoms just to be sure nothing more serious is going on. I would suggest you ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist.

Agree with doc: Your description is most likely consistent with "classical migraine", and very doubtful you will have a stroke, but i must add that if you are a smoker, and take bcp's, you have a higher stroke risk than the average migraine patient. Agree with the wisdom of a neurology visit, as this problem can readily be managed and controlled.
