frequent auras that do not become migraines
I am a 75 yr old lifelong migraineur. recently I had open heart surgery in 2023. I woke from the surgery with a huge aura and continued to have many as in 6 a day in hospital. After I had them every day 2 to 3 times. No rhyme nor season. Monthly Emgality shots have helped. Every other day now. Anyone else have a similar experience after surgery??
Thank you for joining in
. I'm sorry you had such a big surgery - what a recovery that must be. I don't personally know much about this but Amanda wrote an article about anasthesia and migraine (which of course we know doesn't necessarily include pain) https://migraine.com/living-migraine/anesthesia-triggered-attack
I'm guessing that since you had to take such powerful neurologically impactful medications this might have had some effect. Has it eased? What has your neuro said about them?
