Migraine connected to seizure?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tulsa, OK

I was just wondering if migraines are a type of seizure. It just seems like when I get them I go into another world. And I’ve heard people describe seizures that way.

I've heard there is a theory that migraines are mini seizures. Another theory would say that seizures are a type of migraine. I know several preventative migraine medications are primarily anti-seizure meds. Personally, I feel my migraines are mini seizures because of how taxed my body is after an attack.

Found this website that talks about it:
