Yes, speech difficulties (called transient aphasia) can occur during migraine attacks, particularly during the aura phase. This can include trouble forming sentences, word retrieval issues, and difficulty putting thoughts together. Many MyMigraineTeam members report experiencing these speech challenges during their migraine attacks. Visual disturbances are also very common, affecting 25-30% of people with migraines. These can include:
- Flashing lights
- Blind spots
- Blurry vision
- Tunnel vision
- Loss of vision
- Kaleidoscope effects
These visual symptoms typically last less than an hour, though some may only last a few minutes. They can affect one or both eyes. If you frequently experience these symptoms, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
