Connection between migraine & AFIB

Has anyone been told by their Migraine doctor that they have a higher chance of a stroke because of their migraines?


  1. Great question! Thank you for bringing it here. There is a lot of conversation about stroke and migraine.
    Migraine with aura may present an increased risk of stroke for some. Did your doctor mention this to you? Let me share some resources with you on this topic;

    I'm sure others will be along to share their input with you soon. Please let me know what you think and I'm sending along pain free wishes, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Team
