If a complicated migraine strikes you, and you know the symptoms of it, or had it before, then get someone to take you to the hospital immediately.

It's a much rarer form of migraine in which the headache is associated with a neurologic deficit during, and often after the pain phase.

This type of migraine can be very serious, and even the best doctors find it very difficult to diagnose, and it can cost you your life if your doctors are wrong.

I'll give you an example.

If you have this kind of migraine, you may be at a greater risk for stroke than those with regular migraines.

The complicated migraine differs from a Ocular migraine,because the neurologic symptoms are present during the headache, rather than before.

Here is what a hemiplegic migraine is

Another type of headache is the basiler migraine.

It includes severe dizziness, balance problems, and nausea, sick, and vomiting.

This is one of the most disabling migraines because of the terrible symptoms.

You can also have ophthalmoplegic migraine, another complicated one.

This is a rare syndrome in which the eyelid droops, and you cannot move the eye in one or more directions.

You can have a partial, or complete paralysis of the nerves that are needed for eye movement.

A complicated migraine also may have dramatic focal features, and a persistent neurologic deficit that remains for at least twenty four hours after the headache.

A normal migraine will not harm your mind or body function permanently, but the complicated headache prolongs the time of the migraine attack, which may pose unexpected harm to your mental health. It is still unclear what causes this kind of migraine, and different people may have different triggers.

Alcohol, stress, smoking, and tension, or even sleeping to much, or not enough could all induce these headaches.

Also, if you have high blood pressure, it's wise to control it.

If you have been dignoised with this type of headache, vasoconstrictors (ergot) are advoided. And some medications such as estrogens.

If this is done and you are still having a complicated migraine, you can take beta blockers, or calcium channel blockers.

Some triggers for complicated headaches.

If you have one of these headaches, and go to an emergency room, chances are you may be told the same thing my wife was told.

But please make an appointment with a headache specialist, and get checked.

If you are not to far from a headache hospital, go to see them.

Although I know that may be difficult.

We hope you have a headache free day.
