Common Questions and Answers about Speech problems migraine
speech
The ER doctors, Neurologist , and my PCP Doctor all said they have never known for a migraine to cause long term speech problems. I have read cases of slurred speech occuring but this usually subsides after the headache goes away. I have now been like this for 25 days. The Neurologist has me on Depakote which makes me drowsy and I feel numb. He and the other doctors think i'm crazy and want me to see a psychiatrist but I know this is not in my head, this is really happening.
s opinion to rule out any other cause behind the symptoms of speech deterioration. Migraine is known to be associated with numbness, but is speech is affected, I would suspect a lesion in the cerebral cortex or the cerebellum. A transient ischemic attack would be on the list to be ruled out.
What did the MRI report say? Is the speech defect persistent?
Aura associated with migraine is known to have nausea vomiting, visual disturbances like blurring, tunnel vision , slurring speech etc . Apart from others, exercise is a known trigger to migraine attacks and that’s exactly what could have happened in case of your son. Other accompanying symptoms could be increased urination, fatigue, loss of appetite, numbness, tingling or weakness, problems in concentrating, sensitivity to light or sound.
Last night she had experienced a migraine and she had been throwing up as well. During this migraine, she had another instance where she could not read words or remember how to spell or say them coupled with a bout of light dizziness.
Some other information that I find should not be ignored is that she tends to feel older than she is sometimes, and doesn't seem to want to be active.
Hi
Given that all these tests came back negative the closest differential we can consider here is a migraine with aura. Migraine aura may present in various ways but commonly as visual symptoms wherein a black spot or a spot of light may be present usually over the central vision. Other auras may present as a slurring of speech, tingling of extremities or a change in the sense of smell and taste. Migraine auras should not last for more than an hour.
I have been suffering for months now with what was labled a complicated migraine. At the onset of each attack my vision is always affected, everything gets really bright, my lips get numb and tingly, my speech becomes slured I feel light headed and dizzy, cold clamy and nausated. Sometimes my thinking process is slowed or delayed and often I have short memory lapses. If I didnt know better sometimes it feels like I am intoxicated. These attacks are becoming more and more frequent.
Basilar migraine, complicated migraine, Parkinson’s disease, transient ischemic attacks, hyperthyroid states, and seizures should all be investigated for. Do discuss this with your neurologist and get yourself examined accordingly.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
My daughter Amber is 25 years old and for the past 4 years she has some medical problems that the Dr's can't understand. Here are some of the problems, she has had her right hand to draw up and the Dr has said the she has chronic debilitating migraine headaches, there are times that she can't walk and her speech is slurred. Now she is has problems with her legs becoming cold and they are cold to the touch.I am so upset that the Dr's can't tell us what is wrong with Amber.
He still experiences all of these problems and prevents him from working. He took speech therapy for 3 months with no change. He sees a neurologist monthly and nobody has any answers. He did have a videostroboscopy last week and the speech pathologist said that he is having spasms and suggested we get a second opinion as to what is causing this. They suggested going to the Cleveland Clinic or the Mayo clinic which we can't afford to make it there at this time.
My husband went to the ER with a very bad headache, slurring speech and paralysis on the right side of his body. They originally thought it was a stroke, but ruled that out. Now they are calling it a “Complicated Migraine” which has the same signs of stroke. It’s been two days and he still does not have all the feeling in his arms and legs. Is this normal?
A tumor headache may present with pain that progressively worsens, projectile vomiting, possible visual disturbances speech or personality changes; problems with equilibrium, gait, or coordination; and even seizures. The cause of tumor is usually unknown. If you migraine has not been controlled, check with your doctor for proper management. Avoidance of the possible triggers may also help. Take care and regards.
This can also be some form of migraine with an aura of other symptoms. Auras are sensations that precede a migraine attack which can include cutaneous sensations, blurring vision, etc. The negative scans are all reassuring, and I suggest that you have him evaluated by a neurologist.
Regards and God bless.

I would suggest you to discuss this with your prescribing doctor if it is getting difficult to cope with this side effect. There are other triptans available which you can try like Rizatriptan.
Hope this helps!
They may see sparkling flashes of light or perceive dazzling zigzag lines in their field of vision, experience slowly spreading blind spots, may feel tingling, pins and needles sensations in one arm or leg and rarely, experience weakness or language and speech problems. The usual triggers of migraine include food and beverages, stress or menstruation. Although the exact cause of migraine remains unknown, genetic factors may also contribute.
Since coming back home, I started to have migraine like headaches along with other post mTBI symptoms (dizziness, cognative problems, etc).
Anyway, my neurologist is treating me currently with 25mg Nortriptyline and 25mg Topamax at night. They have helped (more so the Topamax). The first week and a half I noticed absolutely no side effects of the Topamax. Today I have some slight hand trembling and also felt like my speech wasn't right. (Like I couldn't think of the right word).
