A migraine is a constriction of blood vessels, which causes pain and loss of sight and etc. So no, any trauma to a person's head which kills them is not a migraine.

∙ 14y agoIn rare cases migraine headaches can cause a stroke. This is not seen is common migraine, or migraine without an aura. Migraine with aura, particularly when the migraines are frequent and long in duration, and have a prolonged aura, are those who have this slightly higher risk. The risk is raised further when you use birth control, smoke, or live a sedentary lifestyle - all of which raise your risk of stroke normally.
It is much more likely that migraine would result in an indirect cause of death, such as visual problems causing a car accident.
Always seek emergency help if it is the worst headache of your life.
If you have a migraine that has lasted longer than 72 hours, be seen by your doctor, urgent care, or emergency department as soon as possible. Regardless of the slight risk of stroke, it is very important to break the cycle of intractable migraine - or you may find yourself in a constant state of pain.

∙ 13y agoFrequent migraines by themselves cannot cause death, but they can stop a person from living their life in any meaningful way by incapacitating them.
However, it should be noted that in extremely rare cases people who suffer from migraine with aura end up having a stroke. Again - this is a rare occurrence.

∙ 15y agoMigraine headaches aren't deadly in themselves... It really depends on the reason for the migraine. If you have a brain tumor etc.. then a migraine could be one of the symptoms, but Migraines are not deadly. The chance of the cause of your migraines being the result of a brain tumor is EXTREMELY rare.

∙ 13y agoIt is possible to have a stroke which leads to death caused by a migraine.
Migraines are caused by blood vessels or parts of the brain swelling, depending on the type of migraine you get. My are frontal sinus, and are caused by swelling of both the blood vessels and tissues in the sinus cavity.
I highly recommend seeing a doctor if you are having migraines. Besides being a pain (no pun intended) they can be dangerous.
