Migraines have not been shown to cause strokes, but having migraines with aura does increase your risk of stroke slightly. Some symptoms of migraines can be very similar to those of a stroke.

Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause a variety of symptoms. Migraines are often hereditary and affect people of all ages. A diagnosis of migraine is made based on clinical history, symptoms, and exclusion of other causes. Migraines may begin in childhood or may not occur until early adulthood.

Everyone gets headaches from time to time. But if you have a headache that lasts for 4 hours or longer, for at least half a month to 3 months, you may have a chronic headache.
