Review these symptoms with your neurologist. Numbness may be associated with a stroke or TIA. Please see the Emergency department for evaluation and control of the symptoms. Fluids, rest and Motrin are typically used for classic migraine pain. Discuss with the physicians at the hospital and please seek medical care.

You are describing "classical migraine" and your auras are typical. Sumatriptan is not appropriate, Xanax does NOT work. If frequent events, might consider preventative agent, such as BOTOX, or the newer CGRP items. A host of OTC remedies might be selected. See a neurologist who focuses on headaches. A new approach can control all of this. N.B., do not smoke or take BCP's, to avoid strokes.
