"researchers also found that those who had migraines with aura were at a greater risk of dying from any cause. "
This statement does not make sense as it infers that those without migraines with aura do not have a risk of dying from any cause.
This is not true as we will all die.
This statment also infers that migraine with aura increases the risk of dying from all causes such as an accident, childbirth, diabetes, cancer, etc., which is obviously not true.
One should note that having migraines with or without aura does NOT predispose you to heart attack or stroke UNLESS you have risk factors for heart attack and stroke such as hypertension, high cholesteral, smoke, drink alcohol, overweight, diabetes, family history, etc.
A physician will tell you that even if you have a family history of heart attach or stroke, you only inherit the predisposition, not the disease and absent the risk factors it's unlikely you will have heart disease or stroke.
