The question is improperly worded. A migraine often suggests that there is a structural abnormality. This abnormality may represent a blood vessel that is enlarged and in danger of failure, with a consequent blood and tissue damage. On the other hand some people develop migraines, have a normal MRI, and there never seems to be an identifiable cause. Certainly a migraine that continues over a period of weeks, or increases in intensity, would suggest a visit to a neurologist for an evaluation would be prudent. A migraine in itself does not necessarily mean you will develop a stroke.
No, but a migraine may be a precursor to a stroke....a tell one may be happening soon.This would be something not a typical or normal headache or migraine for the person.
