it is probable that it is neurological. Neurologists should be able to help you with this condition.
Yes. It is a not so common, but commonly seen problem in the practice of Neurology. Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment and ruling out middle ear (Menier's) problems or brainstem problems. Once diagnosed, treatment is comparable to other types of migraines.
Migraine headaches are most often treated by family doctors. If they don’t come under control or they have associated neurological symptoms, the patients are preferred to a Neurologist. Dizziness and, more specifically, vertigo, is one neurological symptom that can be part of migraine. So, yes, vestibular migraine is a neurological problem.
