From Reuters Health:

People who suffer migraines are about twice as likely as people without the painful headaches to suffer a stroke caused by a blood clot, a new research review finds.

The link is not entirely understood, but researchers suggest that if you do suffer from migraines, you should address risk factors: quit smoking and watch out for high blood pressure.
