"Remember the video of CBS reporter Serene Branson, reporting from the Grammys? She suddenly became tongue-tied and couldn&amp;#x27;t speak. She looked absolutely terrified and people speculated she&amp;#x27;d had a stroke. But there was something else to blame for what happened... Branson had suffered a complex migraine with aura. This wasn&amp;#x27;t her first migraine--she says she&amp;#x27;s had them since childhood, and they run in her family--but it was the first time that it affected her speech. From Bayside News: &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#x27;t feel well before that live shot,&amp;quot; Branson tells Julie Chen on Thursday&amp;#x27;s episode of The Talk. &amp;quot;I had a headache. I was having some blurry vision and when I went to open my mouth, obviously you heard, the words were not coming out.&amp;quot; Typical migraine symptoms often involve vision: shimmery lights, zig-zaggy lines, followed by a headache. Only about 3% to 4% of sufferers exhibit language problems like Branson did. If you get migraines, do they affect your vision? I&amp;#x27;ll never forget my first migraine: I was playing volleyball in gym class and I suddenly got tunnel vision--I couldn&amp;#x27;t see the people next to me. Then I got reverse tunnel vision--I couldn&amp;#x27;t see the ball! Not fun. So Branson&amp;#x27;s episode was thankfully not due to a stroke, but here&amp;#x27;s something fascinating: for women who have migraines with aura, the chances of suffering a stroke go up. It&amp;#x27;s rare, but, reports Time&amp;#x27;s Healthland, still &amp;quot;statistically significant&amp;quot;: migraine sufferers have a 30 in 10,000 chance of stroke, while non-migraine sufferers have a 10 in 10,000 chance.
