Hemiplegic migraine

on 5/6/22 I had stroke like symptoms of numbness on the left side of my body, recurring 6/2 for 2 weeks and again last Friday, 7/8. I was put into the hospital with possible stroke (I'm 54 yrs old) and all test were inconclusive except they found a PFO in my heart (google it) that they now don't think was the reason for my stroke-like symptoms. I'm in my 3rd month of diagnoses after multitudes of tests, hematologist, rheumatologist, neurologist a whole lot of acronyms came into my life i.e. MRI, TEE, EMG, CT, PFO.... Now yesterday my neurologist has indicated since I keep having symptoms, he's thinking maybe not a stroke and wants to look into the hemiplegic migraine. He sent me home with Nurtec ODT and told me to take it when I have symptoms and if it helps the symptoms we are on the right track. So, I guess I'm not technically diagnosed with it YET but in reading up on it today, all of the symptoms are all ME for sure. What tests did you all have to conclusively diagnose you with hemiplegic migraine?

@susiesjourney
I have had NO tests! A stroke was ruled out post TNK and a negative MRI. That's why I am confused and frustrated
!
What type of testing/treatment should I have ?
