Dr. Robblee says that about one third of her patients will have an experience with these auras involving"reversible neurological symptomsWhat happens when an aura occurs is called cortical spreading depression."A wave of electrical changes spread across the brain affecting the parts that cause the type of aura being experienced," Dr. Robblee says. Don't freak out — you're not going to exactly feel this electrical change as a symptom.
The neurological symptoms in question for a silent migraine are made up of a series of disturbances such as vision loss, flashes of lights or zigzags, numbness, tingling that usually occurs on one side of the body, or an inability to speak clearly. These symptoms can occur individually, or all together. Silent migraine episodes last can last anywhere from five minutes to an entire hour, and they are fierce.

Dr. Robblee explainsor acute medicationsAs for trying to prevent a silent migraine before it happens, the approach is basically how you'd try to prevent any classic migraine — avoid fasting, drink enough water, stay away from caffeine, optimize sleep, and try to manage your stress.
