Aura migraines : Aura migraines double stroke risk
Internet Source, 11/02/09
Migraine doubles the chance of a stroke if accompanied by aura, says a new study. Further risk factors for stroke among patients with migraine are being a woman, being young, being a smoker, and using oestrogen containing contraceptives. Up to one third of migraine sufferers experience an aura prior to or during a migraine headache. They found that migraine with aura is linked to a twofold increased risk of ischemic stroke. This risk is further increased by being female, age less than 45 years, smoking, and oestrogen containing contraceptive use.
