Solution
Since Michael is having throbbing headaches, there is a very high chance that he is suffering from migraines . But the accompaniment of confusion does not justify with migraines found in majority of people. This maybe due to a special kind of migraine or the hemiplegic migraines ,which are rare in occurrence. These migraines arise due to physical or any related stress giving an aura before hitting the patient. The patient starts to feel severe throbbing pains along the with numbness of arms and legs, flushed face with a feeling of vomiting later, loss of balance and coordination, blind spots, confusions .
His symptoms can be confused with a stroke, but strokes do not have throbbing pains as a characteristic, though the have severe pains.
