Migraine Sufferer Risk of Stroke or MS

Dr. Newman discusses if people who suffer with migraines have a higher risk for some neurological conditions, such as stroke or MS. Lawrence C. Newman, MD: Migraine is comorbid with a number of other conditions. A comorbid condition implies that two or more conditions occurred in the same person at a rate greater than would be expected purely by chance. Migraine has a number of important comorbidities. Neurologically, migraine is more common in other conditions such as stroke and epilepsy. Additionally, there are other psychiatric conditions that are comorbid with migraine. Migraine is more common in people with depression, anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. So, these conditions occurred together more frequently than you would expect purely by chance. Additionally, people who had migraine are more likely to have coronary artery disease or heart attacks compared to the general population. It is important to realize that migraine tends to be a disorder of young people, and as such people who are young have very limited risk factors for these other conditions, so I take my time when explaining to our patients that even though, there is a higher risk in a migraine sufferer of stroke or heart disease. If they are young and otherwise healthy, the risk is essentially negligible. Learn more about Dr. Newman: http://www.einstein.yu.edu/faculty/pr...
