Speech disorders, severe headaches?
Hello, I'm 16 years old and two years ago I had a bad headache and couldn't speak or read words on my phone. I could understand words though. Afterwards I lay down, woke up and everything was gone. Now, two years later, I have a mental illness (hypochondria) and I'm scared and waiting for something like that to happen again. I've had an EEG but no MRI or CT. I've had motor exercises and the doctor said she's ruled out a stroke. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that she might have missed something and it wasn't a migraine.

Hello Holysnail,
If you first have speech problems (word-finding problems) and then a headache occurs, then that is a relatively sure indication of a migraine with aura .
If migraine is suspected, the doctor can use an EEG to rule out other diseases such as epilepsy.
In migraine patients, an EEG, MRI, or CT scan is always unremarkable, as these tests cannot confirm migraine. They can only rule out other diseases .
Migraine aura :
Only a small proportion of migraine patients have an aura – some of them only have the aura without a subsequent headache.
Migraine headache :
There are different types of migraines, so not all of the symptoms mentioned always apply to everyone.
The symptoms of a stroke are different from those of a migraine with aura. You can trust your doctor. She knows the difference.
If you suspect you have a migraine, the specialist you should consult is a neurologist . They can tell you exactly what you really have.

Thank you, very informative. I don't know exactly whether I had a headache before the speech problems or after. I only know that I was able to walk and understand while I was having a speech problem and I went back to bed and the headache I had was gone and everything was as before. I don't remember it anymore. It stressed me out so much and it was two years ago. I don't remember the exact process anymore.
And I have another important question. Can you only get one type of migraine once? This has never happened again in this form. Six months ago I had a case where I was watching TV in the evening after a vaccination and I had black spots on every word and everything was like tunnel vision. I was so scared, I called the emergency number and then it was gone again after an hour. Then I sat with the doctor and explained everything to her and she said that I could have migraines. When I saw a neurologist, the neurologist didn't give me a definite diagnosis, he suspected a developmental disorder. I don't know what that means.
There are different types of migraines. Theoretically, you can only have one type at a time. If I were you, I would see a neurologist again.
Thank you very much
As a teenager, I suffered from frightening migraines. Loss of sensation in my arms and hands, inability to read, and speech difficulties.
No, it wasn't a stroke!
In the early stages, migraines also involve reduced blood flow to the brain. Then the body opens up the blood vessels, and the throbbing headache sets in. Food helps, as blood is needed in the stomach.
Back then, I always had an emergency migraine kit with me.
Today I rarely have migraines
Thank you, that helps me a lot. Unfortunately, I can't stop panicking and being afraid anymore. I'm getting numbness in my mouth, arm, and half of my head, especially on the ear, and I can't breathe even though I'm trying to breathe in a controlled way. I was planning to have a brain scan just so I know that everything is okay there, because I can't manage anything else in everyday life with these fears.
