The Most Common Associated Migraine Conditions

Research has not yet proven that migraine is the cause of any other medical conditions but it has been linked to a number of other ailments.

The research also says the link may be stronger if you have migraine with aura (symptoms that come before an attack like: visual disturbances, flashing lights, difficulty speaking or concentrating).

The most common conditions linked to migraine are:

Stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), seizures, hearing problems, fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression. PTSD and pre-term birth. [3]
