Migraines and Heart Problems: What's the Link?

Migraines and Heart Problems: What's the Link?: "The study, published in the journal Neurology, looked at nearly 28,000 female health professionals ages 45 and older, including 3,568 who had migraines."
the study found that women with once-a-week migraines accompanied by auras were four times as likely to have had a stroke during the 12-year study than migraine-free women. And study participants who had migraines with auras less than once a month were more than twice as likely than migraine-free women to have a heart attack. They were also nearly twice as likely to have had a heart procedure, such as bypass surgery.
