Day before yesterday I had an episode that attending paramedics said could have been migraine or a TIA episode. I have had migraines before, but not for some time. Anyhow, I telephoned 111 because I was feeling unwell with 'migraine aura' emitting from my right eye and with chest pains and nausea. I found it a problem getting my words out with the 111 operator. When the paramedics arrived I had difficulty in speaking. I knew what I wanted to say but the words came out wrong. This lasted some 15 minutes, before my speech returned to normal. The paramedics face-timed the stroke clinic and they decided it was most likely a migraine episode rather than a mini-stroke. Yesterday I had tests at hospital outpatients but the result is still inconclusive. The hospital had so many urgent cases waiting for their MRI slots that I was told to go back next week for an MRI scan, to exclude (or confirm) TIA.
I just would like to know if garbled speech is something that other people have experienced with migraine?
