migraines?
i get migraines about 6 times a year. when i get them, i can’t see right, i throw up, and my face and other body parts get numb. one time when i had one, i couldn’t talk. i knew what i wanted to say but it came out as jibberish. my family got worried and took me to the emergency room and the doctors there thought i had brain aneurysm. they did a spinal tap but found nothing wrong. they basically came to the conclusion that i was dehydrated. after that happened, i have drank like no other and started eating healthier. about a month ago, i got a migraine and the same thing happened to where i couldn’t talk. i know i’m not dehydrated; i drink more than anyone i know. i also take medication for migraines but it never seems to work. someone mentioned in passing that i could be having some kind of seizure. do you think that may be possible?
thanks for your help! ![]()

I get them too.. same way. they are called migraine with an aura.. I dont take Rx for them .. my dr said that I should take excedrin migraine at the very first sign. and it sometimes works..
i’ve been driving while one happened, i’ve been at work numerous times, in a restaraunt.. its really embarrassing
but they start if i’m stressed. if i don’t get enough sleep, if i go too long without eating, if i eat too many carbs.. there are a lot of triggers.
There are many, many types of migraines. This sounds like it could be a cluster variant. You need to be referred on to a Neurologist who could help you sort this out. The inability to talk during the episode could be part of the migraine aura, but it also can be seen in different types of seizures (that are not related to epilepsy). Again, you should see a neurologist who could help you best sort this out. Even if they are a migraine varient such as cluster migraines, they could implement a treatment plan that might help you avoid the severity of your symptoms during an episode. Good luck!
Absolutely, it could be a seizure. Don’t bother with ER doctors. They’re pretty much useless and just want to get people in and out quickly. Talk to your regular doctor about it. You will probably need an MRI to check out what’s going on inside your brain. Good luck.
A seizure may be possible. I have migrains too. I know a lot about it and friends who have it. What you mentioned doesn’t seem like it’s only a migrain. I think you should check further with a doctor.
Most people have migrains because their thyroid is inbalanced. You can take medication for that (daily) and your migrain should stop. But really, I think what you have is some kind of seizure. Please go to the doctor. I hope that you will get well soon.
