Posterior circulation migraines

[Wolf23]

For the last year I've been suffering from posterior circulation migraines. The severity differs,sometimes it appears to others I may be having a stroke (in fact my first one I had a year ago hospital told me I was having a TIA) or sometimes I might have a bad headache,I'm currently taking amitriptyline to deal with the neurological symptoms. But recently I had a very severe attack,so bad I was unable to speak properly,impaired vision and numbness in my right arm and balance problems. When they did the CT scan with dye I was still in the middle of an attack,and what they found knocked me for six. The cause of these episodes was a spasaming artery in the back of my neck which affected blood flow to the brain. And the treatment was ace inhibitor tablets which relax the blood vessels and prevent them from happening,they said it is one of the causes of severe migraines. Now I feel so much better and only have mild to moderate headaches now which is a lot better than before.
