How would i know the difference between a stroke and a migraine..?

thanx in advance

You would have other symptoms in addition to the extreme headache. Are you having any numbness, or any visual disturbances? Any strange sensations on your left side? (It is most common on the left, but could be on the right...usually one side or the other.) Have you been experiencing any symptoms over a period of time? Are you at risk...meaning how old are you? Lifestyle? Why don't you visit web md or mayo clinic online and do some research. If you really think that you could be having even small strokes, seek medical help.

With a migraine there is usually a warning period during which you feel abnormally tired and out of sorts, followed by nausea, vomiting, and sometimes diarrhea. Bright lights may be unbearable. The symptoms of a stroke persist for at least 24 hours, and usually much longer.

Learn to recognize the signs of a potential stroke. According to the American Stroke Association (a division of the American Heart Association), symptoms of a stroke may include:

* sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
* sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
* sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
* sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
* sudden, severe headache with no known cause

If you notice someone having any of these warning signs of a stroke, promptly call 911.

Learn the National Stroke Association's "Act F.A.S.T." test. By knowing how to quickly evaluate the face, arms, and speech of the person in question, you can help him to get the emergency care he needs for the best possible results.
