Can you get migraines or MAV if no one in your family has them?

I'm not sure if migraines are what I'm dealing with. But for four years after heavy stress in my life I've felt like I'm in a dream world with a heavy feeling head and imbalance like migraine aura. A lot are saying it could be vestibular migraine but I'm not sure if anyone in my family has them...if no one has them (which I will be asking around) could it be possible for me to get them?

    Yes it’s possible for you to get them. Since not a lot is known about migraines they could very wel not be genetic.
