Migraine without the headache!

Hello to all you out there in America. I am in the UK and would like to know if any of you have been diagnosed with Migranous Vertigo. I have dizziness and sickness which keeps me in bed for 24 to 36 hours, and has been diagnosed as the above. I don't believe it as no headache at that time. Those of you with horrible headaches will say what am I moaning about as don't get a headache, and I understand this as I do get one sometimes but not with the dizzy and sickness. I also get Ocular Migraine where I am partially blind and have zig zag type shapes cross my eyes. This is separate from the dizzy thing, and goes off after Paracetemols, , but is a nuisance especially if I am driving Mostly starts if a flash of sunlight or lamplight catches my eyes.
Is there anyone out there with similar symptoms or am I just an oddball. Thanks.
