Hi Lynne,

 

Status Migrainous may sometimes be a condition when Migraine pain lasts for longer than 72 hours without a four-hour, pain-free break while awake and needs medical attention right away. This puts us at an increased risk of stroke.  For more information click HERE.

 

We have an interesting article on More Research Links Migraine With Aura and Stroke in Women you may find helpful.

 

Good luck

Nancy
