Hemiplegic migraines are a type of severe headache that can cause temporary paralysis or weakness on one side of the body, causing a stroke. During the pain, individuals may experience intense head pain, visible irritations, and difficulty speaking.

These migraines are relatively rare but can make you very weak. These migraines often involve visual troubles, confusion, and bad coordination, making them different from typical migraines.

Are Hemiplegic Migraines Hereditary?

Yes, hemiplegic migraines can be hereditary, meaning they may run in families. If a person has a family history of hemiplegic migraines, there is an increased chance that they may experience these migraines as well.

However, not everyone with a family history of hemiplegic migraines will necessarily develop the condition, as genetic inheritance involves close relations.

It’s important for people with a family history of hemiplegic migraines to be aware of the potential risk and to monitor for any symptoms.
