Hello,
The symptoms you have mentioned are related to different illnesses and due to different reasons and as your doctor was suspecting migraine but there is no improvement in symptoms.
To know the exact cause behind it, I would suggest you consult a neurologist.
After all, history taking and physical examination he will advise you to get some diagnostic tests done which might include a CAT scan and some blood work.
So it's better to visit the doctor and get all the necessary tests done by his advice to know the underlying cause for the pain and other symptoms.
Once the cause is known it will be appropriate to treat it best medical option available as per your doctor’s advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
