Confusion and speech problems

I had a migraine attack that started yesterday and went into today. It was most likely exercise induced. I am on lots of Botox, beta blockers, triptane spray and Aimpvig as a preventative. I took one abortative yesterday and one today. As I have become more and more medicated it has helped, especially for the pain but I notice the neurological symptoms even more. Today I went for a massage to try to manage some of the intense body pain and neck stiffness I experience after a migraine. But while I was at the store after I suddenly felt very confused. I think it came on gradually because I remember my driving was impaired (scary, but I had low speed in my neighbourhood) and at the store I couldn’t form comprehensive thoughts. I called my husband for help and then discovered I could nok speak more than a few forced words either. I was not making much sense and I remember I was dizzy and had to hold on to a stack of soda bottles to stay on my feet, after 10-15 minutes I improved enough to get in my car and then I sat there for more than 20 minutes before I drove home carefully. When i got home I had trouble walking and Lifting a bag, but my husband did the stroke protocol on me and I could lift my arms and smile. I was just very confused and dizzy. Better after a few hours. Have you experienced this?
