A member asked:
Does epilepsy and migraines happen together?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but unclear: While epilepsy and migraine would seem to be separate conditions, there is a small but statistically significant increase in risk for developing one if you have already been diagnosed with the other. The mechanism for this is unclear, but is thought to be related to abnormal excitability in the brain.

Migralepsy: Yes, there is an increased chance of the two disorders occurring together.
