Dr. Nancy Discusses Complex Migraines, Part 1

" Can thank colliding and doctor Nancy time in his NBC's chief commitment and got any good morning Andy Phillips -- about this that we actually have on video right -- that we rarely seen on videotape but it does happen. We see this kind of thing in in in our lives otherwise -- the that I -- a complex migraine. Isn't unusual for me and what do you know Campbell we watched it last week this was not the top of my laundry list we knew we were looking at some kind of neurological event. I transient ischemic attack maybe it -- stroke. Something worth the blood vessel obviously. Not. Frankly -- department bring this speech center of her left -- ever had which explains why she was struggling for words. But it underscores I think two extraordinary important things what we know this isn't normal. Two paramedics arrived and did -- battery tests looked at ever at that time it properly unresolved. And I should figure three things she should've gotten to a hospital but did you neurologist and finally got the right thing the right place this. Is the kind of event. That you can't just make a good live diagnosis on the scene someone really have to be evaluated and you know I'm a big believer that there is a time and a place for specialist. This is one of the what I was trying to refer to when I was talking about how this kind of thing that happened oh yeah I don't and I happen to people. Who have are having stroke you actually got like you know in our elderly parents meet here with that character grandparent and suddenly -- words don't make sense that there are certain to. Didn't and we think of it as pretty -- harbinger to a stroke. What the doctors are saying -- this case is no she's had migraines in the past she had a headache that night. Otherwise there are logically find I'm sure that he had her for all kinds of things including. Tumors and lead. Family history. So putting everything together diagnosed her as having this very. That's what kind of migraine does that make her more likely that perhaps have this kind of situation happen again because of her family history certainly because she's having of the path and a family history because this. This let's go with the beard to beard she's now in the very elite my green category and you well me so they will have her looking for all kinds triggers our life. I'm sure at some special medications and she now has a very intimate relationship. But the neurologist for quite some time -- well we wish her in -- yeah she's yeah just I didn't let the big thing the big gift she gave us. It's a chance to learn from her experience. And I would just caution people if you've seen this kind of thing today and anyone donors to with a migraine. Think the worst case scenario and hope for -- well put doctor Nancy -- and usual great respect and thing."
