Copycat conditions: Stroke mimics
Margot Kim
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Is it just a bad headache or something much worse? Millions of Americans suffer from migraines. Some have attacks so painful and debilitating, they can be mistaken as the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
Jennifer Lardizabal enjoys every moment of game night when she can. She suffers from complicated migraines -- a condition that affects over 23 million Americans every year.
"Just the pain was very severe," Jennifer told Action News.
During one attack, Jennifer was rushed to the hospital. She thought she was having a stroke.
