Migraine and epilepsy possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think the headache with ringing in ears and tingling in fingers and arms you are having may be related to migraine and also to epilepsy. The elevated heart rate may be caused by pain.
I think you should visit a neurologist and also do an EEG to get evaluated.
The neurological evaluation may determine the kind of medications which work on you.

Hope I have answered the question.
