Headaches and Brain Lesions

If you have migraines are you at greater risk of suffering a stroke? It's not entirely evident at this point, but a recent study on migraines noted that women who have migraines with aura in their "middle years" are more likely to have brain lesions later in life. Men don't seem to have the same association, nor do women who have other migraine variants. Researchers are careful to say that although there seems to be a link, they aren't sure what it all means at this point. What is always true is that it is important to discuss your symptoms and concerns with your health care provider so you can best evaluate and treat your migraines and headaches.
