Common: Migraine is so very common in 20 year old women, whilst TIA is very uncommon. Out of the gate, the odds are in your favor. Secondly, those who have strokes don't get many tias. You usually get zero before a stroke. Sometimes 1. Rarely 2 tias...Rarely.

Uncommon: Tias in your age are very uncommon. Migraine with aura is much more frequent and has a set of symptoms that can differentiate it from a tia. We always think of tias when we see a migraine with aura; I am sure your doctor had that in mind as well.

Do CGRP inhibitors (like Emgality) increase stroke risk ? Seen research that CGRP proteins protects against ischemia so theoretically inhibitors may increase risk. I'm concerned as I have migraine with aura and so an increased stroke risk. Thank you?
