What is a basilar migraine, you may wonder. It is a migraine that comes from a neurological disorder. This means it originates from a disturbance in the brain or brainstem. The cure is to discover what the disturbance is and remove it. This cannot be done by ignoring the problem or taking medication to cover it up.

How can you tell if you have a basilar migraine? Here is a list of symptoms that may sound familiar to you.

  • Seeing double
  • Slurring of speech
  • Losing your balance
  • Tingling in the body
  • Dizziness
  • Temporarily experiencing blindness
  • Having problems with hearing
  • Vision looking gray
  • Feeling confused
  • Losing consciousness
  • Difficulty with speech and talking

How many days have you lost to a migraine this year alone? There's a piece of the migraine puzzle that doesn't get talked about nearly enough — and once you see it, you'll wonder why no one brought it up sooner. Breaking the Migraine Cycle breaks it all down, for free.

If you now realize you do have basilar migraines, what can you do? The first step in healing is figuring out what triggers your migraines. Here is a list of some of the things that people with basilar migraines find to be triggers.

  • Eating foods that contain nitrates (in many processed foods)
