Migraine help: How can someone understand that the symptoms are a migraine headache and not a stroke?
The pain in both cases may seem the same, but some people that experienced a stroke they are describing it as the most severe pain that have undergone in their life. However, the pain in stroke is more blunt. It comes suddenly, but in most cases accompanied by other symptoms such as numbness of the hand or leg and speech disorder, which also happens suddenly. In migraine headache-even in those with aura-the symptoms are progressive, there is numbness on the hand slowly, starting from the top down and gone within half an hour, while in the case of a stroke the pain is intense and becomes worse. When someone comes and say that it has the worst headache of his life, even if they are in their 20 or 30, it is recommended to do tests to see what happens.
