Since pregnancy with twins last year, I have had 5 episodes of headache with complications (nothing more than a regular headache). I have NOT had nausea, light sensitivity, throbbing, or focal headaches. One time I had sound sensitivity. What I do get is memory loss, slurred speach, inability to think of or understand some words (aphasia), inability to function normally (can't figure out how to get out of the car or make a phone call, etc), and decreased level of consciousness (not remembering my name, my babies' names, the year, etc). I had a negative brain MRI, negative EKG, negative echocardiogram, and normal labs (including thyroid). The doctor (internist) diagnosed me with Migraines. Is it possible that this is truly Migraines, even though the headache symptoms don't indicate Migraine? Have these studies adequately ruled out anything else important, or is it important to have other studies done?
Also, the internist gave me Topamax and said it's ok to take it while breastfeeding. Everything I find online says it's not the best idea. Any suggestions?
