Mini Strokes or just migraines?

Question

Every once in a while, I get these horrible headaches. I was diagnosed with migraines like 5 years ago. MRI showed small lesions on the brain and the test came back as possible MS. Dr said it was nothing. Im taking blood pressure pills for severe high blood pressure. I eat right and am a healthy weight. Here Lately when i get my "migraines" the right side of my face becomes numb and "droppy" I also begin to stutter and my right arm and legs just feel weird. I also have a black dot in my vision in my right eye now (its always there) does anyone have these symptoms with their migraines or could I be having mini strokes.( Im only 20 years old but have had blood pressure problems since the age of 12) I have an appointment with my dr in a month.

Answer 1

don't wait a month. if it indeed a stroke, there may be permanent consequences so don't waste time. call your doctors office again, make sure they realize how serious this is. they can always fit you in remember that.

Answer 2

You need to go to the er next time you have one of these things. Those are typical signs of stroke. No, you should go now to the doctor. A stroke is serious and can be a bad bad thing. You are never to young to have a stroke

Answer 3

Those are not typical migraine symptoms. Get seen ASAP!
