DIFFERENT HEADACHES

STROKE VS MIGRAINE

Strokes and migraine headaches can be linked together. This can generally only be known by tests, doctor's diagnosis, and supporting examinations such as head CT scans.

Migraines and strokes both occur in the brain, sometimes the symptoms of a migraine are similar to those of a stroke. However, the causes of the symptoms are different. Strokes occur due to damage to the blood supply in the brain, while migraines are thought to be due to problems with the way brain cells work

The most striking difference between the characteristics of a stroke and a migraine headache can be seen by how the two diseases recur. In general, migraines do not cause nerve weakness, loss of touch sensation, or loss of vision.

The relationship between migraine and stroke is complex. The symptoms look similar, and the two may share underlying risk factors.

Features of a stroke:

• Sudden headache
• The symptoms are dangerous, such as loss of control of one part of the body, or loss of sight in both eyes

Migraine features:

• Headache occurs gradually
• The symptoms are classified as less dangerous, such as nausea, intolerance to light, glare, intolerance to noise

Is There a Link Between Migraine and Stroke

It is not known for certain whether there is a relationship between migraines and strokes. It's just that people who experience migraines accompanied by aura are twice as likely to have a stroke as people who don't get migraines at all.

Several studies have concluded that migraines can cause inflammation of the arteries. This can cause blood to clot and clot more easily. Both of these will increase the risk of stroke.

It's possible if someone has a stroke while having a migraine, but that doesn't mean that migraines are the cause of the stroke.

• Aged over 55 years
