Answer
I suppose you meant a neurologist. Neurosurgeons do not concern themselves with migraine but neurologists do. Your symptoms may indeed indicate migraine. So I do suggest that you visit a neurologist. Good luck! There are medicines for migraine. You can not be cured of it but its symptoms can be treated.
