Via Reuters: Migraines linked with brain damage:
People with migraines also may be suffering from some brain damage as brain cells swell and become starved of oxygen — a finding that may help explain why migraine sufferers have a higher risk of stroke, researchers reported on Sunday.[...]
Two studies, including one published last week in the Archives in Internal Medicine, show that people who have migraines are more likely to have heart attacks.
A 2024 study in the British Medical Journal found that migraine sufferers are twice as likely to suffer a stroke as people who do not have the headaches.
Hardly seems fair, really.

My sister says that she has found that if she takes a Niacin tablet with her migraine medicine it makes the migraine subside much faster. She read the tip in a book about vitamin supplements. Thought you might want to try. I don’t see what it could hurt.
