Well, I have only one option - this is a basilar migraine, which is now called a migraine with a brainstem aura.
These names came from the location of the problem. The trunk, along with the basilar artery, is hidden under our brain. The brain rests on them.
The brain stem is the bridge between the brain and the spinal cord. Many relict vital centers are concentrated there.
And when the cause of the migraine is hidden there, the voice can change. Sometimes it is difficult for a person to speak, and sometimes speech disappears altogether. This is a bad option for a migraine. There are too many parts of the brain that are important for life in this place.
In addition to voice impairment, hearing may suddenly deteriorate, tinnitus, numbness or goosebumps may appear, a person behaves strangely, turns off or cannot stand.
All these manifestations are called aura. Then a typical headache begins.
The peculiarity of such a migraine is also that it is localized not on one side of the head, but often symmetrically on both.
This type of migraine used to be called basilar migraine. Because the aura could be explained by impaired blood flow in the basilar artery. But then ideas about the mechanism of migraine changed and such a migraine was called a migraine with a stem aura.
It used to be thought that the meaning of migraine is in vasospasm, due to which part of the brain is poorly supplied with blood, and from this there will be an aura. That is, the aura is like a small temporary stroke. It rolls on in a few minutes and lasts no longer than an hour. Then it usually goes away.
Many people experience these migraines regularly and without significant health consequences.
If the aura lasts longer than an hour, then there is a chance of getting a good full-blown stroke. So if this is your option, and the aura pesters you for more than an hour, then call an ambulance and go to a neurological hospital.
In general, such a migraine was detected back in 1961. Then it was believed that the aura appears due to the spasm of the arteries. They thought that then the spasmodic vessels should expand, and then the nerves that entangle these vessels and meninges begin to ache.
New mechanism of migraine
Over time, ideas about the mechanism of migraine have changed, and now the cause is considered a mysterious "spreading cortical depression". This is such an electrical phenomenon in the cerebral cortex, when a wave of excitement rolls through the nerve cells.
This thing crawls along the cerebral cortex at a speed of several millimeters per minute and very accurately coincides with the appearance of the aura.
That is, at first such an abnormal wave is rolled through the brain, and all areas of the cortex affected by the wave are slightly affected. This is not a very pleasant shake-up for them, so many different symptoms appear, which we call an aura.
After the wave subsides, local blood circulation is disturbed in the affected areas. And the very spasms or vasodilatations appear, but already in miniature. That is, instead of one large artery, many small vessels spasm or expand.
In fact, our brain is deeply indifferent to which caliber of blood vessels the problem has arisen. Nerve cells are equally severely affected by these circulatory disorders. If not everything was in order with the brains, then all these shakes can kill some of the nerve cells. Then you get a real stroke.
That is, the idea, brothers, is this - an aura is called the electrical excitation of nerve cells, which will then be very vulnerable to disruption of blood supply.
And here it is very important to get to the neurologist in time and tell him everything in detail. Because a bunch of different drugs for high blood pressure or migraine by themselves can disrupt cerebral circulation. And it is very dangerous for a person with such a stem aura to risk his cerebral circulation. He has a weak spot in his brain.
Let's do it again. If there is a recurring headache, which is accompanied by a violation of the voice, then you need to go to a neurologist. Even if you have already learned how to cope with such a headache yourself.
Can I explain it easily?
