What could this be? migraine?

Posted , 5 users are following.

Been having a dull headache for 3 weeks now, had a weird sensation 2 days ago my face, arm and leg on my left side all felt weak? I still had feeling and control but they felt weak, its hard to describe but its like my face was just feeling droopy on the left but no physical change

Went to a+e after the first episode had CT scan and reflex tests done, everything ok

was pretty fine after that, got home went to bed.. Woke up a few hours later and was ok, few more hours sensation came back, has been the same all day and today, sometimes it'll feel less weak and other times it'll feel really strange along with my head having a weird ache and a pain in my left eye like an ache

I cant explain it, feels almost like a dead arm, leg and face but not completely dead?

Doctor at A+e said everything was clear and he thinks its possibly just a migraine 

I do seem to suffer from depression and Anxeity.. could be related?

    "possibly just a migraine"  would that be in line with noncompassion and arrogance?  I don't have migraines but my daughter does.  To hear about such a flip response from a medical professional makes me angry.  

    Having said that, there are other migraine stories about the wonders of chelated (easily absorbed)magnesium that appear here.  Just search for migraines and magnesium.  My daughter just picked some pills up from the pharmacist but hasn't started them yet.  Also I have read that magnesium deficiency normaly doesn't show up in blood tests.  Good luck.  

    At the end of the day ask your doctor (preferably one that is willing to take your possible migraines more seriously).
