Possibly. Migraineurs are at an increased risk of experiencing a potentially fatal stoke, especially those who experience "aura" (i.e. "classic migraines").

Migraineurs may also be more likely to ignore early symptoms of a stroke, attributing them to yet another migraine attack. Some doctors may also fail to take the stroke symptoms seriously if they know that a patient is a migraine sufferer and/or if that patient has presented in the emergency room with a migraine in the past.

Deaths from "fatal migraines" have been reported, but is still a rare occurrence.

Migraines can also be fatal if a person overdoses or if they combine interacting medications.
