Frustrating Migraines

Today I had to go to a Cardiologist. It is kind of the last step to possibly finding out what could possibly causing my migraines. It was kind of a bittersweet appointment. He told me we are going to do an Echocardiogram next week. I am not even sure what that is. I was told that is a test to see if I have a hole in my heart that never healed as a child. It sometimes causes terrible migraines in people.

But if it turns up negative, it is pretty much the end of the road and I am just set to deal with these crazy migraines. I guess when you have a migraine and end up in the ER because you think you are having a stroke and they tell you that it is completely normal, it is very frustrating and it doesn't feel like it should be normal. I am hoping this isn't the end of the road but I guess if it is we will deal with the results the way we have for the last 5 years.

I am not writing this so anyone will feel bad for me. I was just feeling a little frustrated today. Has anyone else ever heard of these migraines?
