A migraine, although debilitating and incapacitating, is not bad for you.
Frequent migraines can impact your entire life - causing absences that can lead to problems with school, or problems with maintaining employment. It can also cause issues due to making it harder to be a member of a family unit.
Frequent migraines with aura have been shown to increase stroke risk, as well as risk for Heart disease and clots. These problems have been described as rare, but it is there.
Some people who have frequent migraines with aura sometimes also experience white matter lesions of the brain. There are no studies to indicate what kind of problems they would cause.
If you are having more than two migraines a month, you can see a neurologist to try preventative medication to lower the numbers of migraines you have.
