Aphasia may be a sign of a stroke and migraines typically do not cause cognitive impairment. Please see acute care right away to assess your Neurologic status. Migraines may be associated with vision changes, headaches and fatigue. Please follow up if you are experiencing migraine symptoms or symptoms of a stroke.

Classical migraine headaches do cause auras, and a feature is often aphasia. Dysphrenia hemicrania transitoria is the term for the "brain fog" which can also occur. If you take birth control pills and smoke, this elevates risk of stroke. Your problems can be prevented; see an experience neurologist and get proactive.
