Can migraine cause one sided weakness?

FAQ

Migraine headaches can sometimes be accompanied by neurological symptoms such as visual disturbances, numbness, tingling, and weakness. These symptoms can occur before, during, or after the headache and are often referred to as “migraine with aura.”

One-sided weakness, also known as hemiplegia, can be a rare but possible symptom of migraine with aura. However, it is important to note that one-sided weakness can also be a symptom of a more serious condition, such as a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), which requires immediate medical attention.

If you experience sudden or severe one-sided weakness, it is important to seek medical attention right away. Your doctor can perform a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.
