I'm interested to read some articles about aura migraines and valve disease patients. I had aura migraines for about 20 years prior to surgery. I've had less than 10 in the 30 months since surgery, and they seem to be triggered by lack of sleep, overdose on caffeine, and bright flashes/reflections/glares of light. But they are not nearly as intense as they used to be, and will subside in less than 10 minutes if I stop what I'm doing and rest. (It used to take HOURS to get them to go away!)

Eddie Patton Meredith, same here. Have had them pretty much my whole life. I had a bunch right after surgery but they were pretty mild. I seem to have them less after and they are less intense but seem to come in clusters. Lights and stress when I haven't eaten seems to be my triggers. I haven't had one of the can't really see can't focus then debilitating head ache since surgery. Mostly fireworks for a bit then a mild headache. Maybe better circulation keeps the intensity down.

Sara Hedberg Meredith and Eddie -- Lucky you! Glad yours are less frequent and intense since surgery. Mine have gone the opposite way -- more frequent and intense since surgery. Hmmmmm..... Yes, light seems a huge trigger for me. And they seem to come in clusters. I do try to keep going when they start. i will try resting asap and hope that helps. I am tired of losing days of my life! It is helpful knowing others have issues with this -- not just me..... Thanks!
