Hi ckw1969,   We can't tell you if you've found your aura or not. Keep in mind, however, that only 25-30% of Migraineurs experience aura.   We are not medical professionals - what we can do is provide you with information. Sometimes when people are in pain their blood pressure goes up, I know mine does. Do you have any ringing in your ears? Does is sound more like whooshing in your head? There is a condition called Idiopathic Intrcranial Hypertension aka IIH (formerly called Pseudotumor Cerebri) where too much cerebrospinal fluid made or does not absorb well. We have some information you can read: Pseudotumor Cerebri (IIH) - The Basics.    Migraine with aura, not without aura, may put Migraineurs at an increased risk of stroke. This issue is addressed in this article: More Research Links Migraine With Aura and Stroke in Women.    A Migraine specialist is the doctor who is the expert who is best equipped to treat patients with Migraines and headaches. We have a list of patient recommended specialists you can see HERE, and this article - Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? will fill in the rest of the details for you.   Good luck Nancy
