Hemiplegic Migraine vs. Stroke

How do we know how to tell when it is just a new hemiplegic migraine symptom and when it might be a stroke?

  1. That is definitely one of the more disconcerting things about the symptoms of hemiplegic migraine, . The symptoms between that and stroke can be very similar. I wanted to share this article with you, https://migraine.com/living-with-migraine/risk-of-stroke. It has some information on the difference between the two. Have you also been able to talk with your doctor about your concerns? Please don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor to discuss your concerns and, of course, don't be afraid to head to the ER if needed. Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
