Migraine heart link in children


"Children who see flashing lights during a migraine have twice the normal likelihood of having a hole-in-the-heart, a study suggests."

"Of the children who had migraines with aura, 50% also had the defect. This is nearly double the rate seen in the general population."

Kind of concerning since I had migraines with an aura for about 12 years starting at age 13. Haven't had one in over a year now so hopefully I grew out of it and it had nothing to do with my heart.
