It typically occurs in individuals with a history of migraines with aura, and symptoms may include sudden weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking, or vision problems during a migraine. While most migraines are harmless, this complication requires prompt medical attention to reduce brain damage and address the underlying cause. Recognizing the warning signs and seeking immediate care can improve outcomes and prevent long-term issues.
