I have chronic migraines, what the hell are my doctors doing?

So I'm 16 years old and I have migraines frequently, almost daily ( on a scale of 1-10 I would rate the pains 4-8). They've been going on since December and getting worse, I never had a problem with head aches before. I'm also borderline hypertension, I have high blood platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. They're blamming my blood pressure problems on being overweight and the headaches on being a teenager. Apparently, sudden migraine complexes are completely normal for children according to these doctors. I also have a fast heart rate. They have no idea what's going and I keep having to go and get tested for numerous things. They said I'm a case. They gave me anti-depressants and said that those would help headaches, right after I started taking them I began coughing blood, so I stopped (constricted blood vessel in my throat?). Now they're making me take medicine for Epilepsy saying that'll prevent them. This is stupid. Can anyone help?

Epilepsy medication is called anticonvulsants and they are commonly prescribed to prevent migraines. I took an anticonvulsant Topamax (200mg) and never had one migraine on this medicine. Anticonvulsants are difficult to get used to require at least a month to get used to the side effects such as slowed thinking, tingling extremities which go away the longer you are on the medication. For your high blood pressure, you could try a betablocker like atenenol which also prevents migraines, but not nearly as good as topamax. Try this drug in the summer before school starts, because you will dumber than a box of rocks for 2 weeks, lol
