Earlier this week two articles were published on the same day both regarding migraines, so what do you want first: the good news or the bad? Well I can't hear you so we'll just start with the bad news: migraines may put you at increased risk for having a heart attack. And then the good news! Migraines may help boost your memory.

The fact that migraines and heart disease are linked is not a completely new idea, although doctors and scientists are still trying to uncover if it's related to inflammation or genetics or what exactly. But the memory thing, well that's a surprise. Researchers originally went into the study, which started back in 1993, expecting to find that migraines caused cumulative brain damage over time, not brain protection.

Just goes to show you never know what to expect.
