A member asked:

How often do 28 yr old females have a stroke? i have been shaky and getting weird sensations and headaches that make me vomit and heavy numb arm

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mark Fisher answered

Specializes in Neurology

Not very often: Apparently you've already been diagnosed with migraines. Not sure why you would jump to a notion like stroke when you yourself said you're having headaches. This sounds like fairly garden-variety migraines. You need to see your doctor (you must have one) to confirm this.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
