@doctor.painkiller: Migraine with brainstem aura: the stroke mimic explained Slurred speech, double vision, vertigo, then a headache. That's a stroke until proven otherwise. Sudden and new means ER. Once stroke is ruled out, there's a rare migraine that can do exactly this: migraine with brainstem aura. It used to be called basilar migraine, until we figured out the basilar artery probably has nothing to do with it. Education only, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about your own symptoms.#migraine #brainhealth #neurology

No mention of hemiplegic migraine. That was the scariest migraine of my life and I wound up in the er where they were so close to giving me TPA. Luckily my CT came back fine. Right side went numb, slurred speech, issues walking… I spent 2 nights for monitoring and I’ve been much better since

My pcp called it a “complex migraine” 🧐 I get head and neck pain, ringing in the ears, dizziness, slurred speech (sounding like i’m drunk) and I also have difficulty understanding whats being said to me (sounds like gibberish to me). Tried Nurtec for the first time a few weeks ago and I was amazed 🤯 I was 80% better in 2 hours.

This is exactly why a stoke is going to sneak up on me. I will write it off as a migraine until I am six feet under, and still think it wasnt the worst ive had.

so, I had a TIA and because I went to the hospital and said I get chronic migraine with aura everyone stopped with the stroke protocol and started migraine protocol. mind you I have never had a hemiplegic migraine and I am 50. but ya OK migraine. left the hospital went to my neurologist. ya actually it was a TIA. so that was fun. $6k later and the hospital did nothing for me. it took 2 weeks to get my strength back. 3 weeks to get the fizziness gone. still having trouble with words (more than normal migraine stuff) and still drop stuff all the time with the side effected. but ya, it was all a hemiplegic migraine, sure.

Are migraines and Chiari Malformation related? My cousin died from complications of Chiari Malformation and she would always get migraines

I suffered from horrible migraines for 15 years (they started when I was about 10), they eventually caused my stroke at 25…I don’t get migraines anymore and it’s been 27 years.

my 15 year old did this 3 times in 3 months. I swear a piece of my soul died when they asked him to smile than the nurse walked out and I heard "code stroke" over the hospital speakers. The amount of people who ran to us was traumatic. Just to find out it was a silent migraine with aura. So thankful for all the nurses and doctors we absolutely hate this its scary and hes a hiker and camper. what if he gets one on a hike.

Please please please everyone that has these, if in doubt check it out! You can miss an actual stroke if you have these types of migraines. I know because I missed my stroke thinking it was just a migraine. Only some strokes feel like a thunder clap headache, not all. My stroke, as fair as the pain, only felt like a fairly minor migraine. It was not thunder clap. The symptoms didn’t happen super suddenly. It took 30 to 45 minutes for my symptoms to peak. Money & time is worth not missing a stroke. I would go to ER 10 times in 6 months & not regret any of it for a second, if it meant I never missed another stroke.

Yeah I get these, I also have a blood disorder that causes blood clots and I have a history of DVTs in my brain. So every time I get a migraine? I have to go to the ER for MRIs and lots of tests. And I get them a LOT bc they flair when my lupus flairs and that flairs when I’m stressed or anxious. I’m ALWAYS anxious so I’m ALWAYS in the damn ER😑
