Hello , the symptoms you experienced could be a variant of the regular migraine that you experience or it can be a acute coronary syndrome . As per your history you mentioned high blood pressure at the time of the event. Did you ever get your pressure checked at a resting state . Do you have diabetes ? Do you smoke or consume alcohol in excess ? Though I wouldnot heartily accept a single ecg report to be significant but non specific st-t wave changes in a hypertensive patient is suggestive of ischemic heart disease , rarely. Please get yourself evaluated from a cardiologist . Meanwhile continue your medications for your migraine . I hope I have helped you to understand your current condition . Wish you good health
