Migraine threat to mothers-to-be
WOMEN who suffer from migraines during pregnancy may be at higher risk of stroke and heart disease, new research has suggested.
They may also be more likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes and blood clots, according to the study published online by the British Medical Journal.
Experts found that having a migraine in pregnancy meant women were 15 times as likely to suffer a stroke and more than twice as likely to suffer a heart attack or heart disease as women without migraine. They were also eight times more likely to suffer high blood pressure.
