Precordial Migraine

JOHN FRANCIS BRIGGS M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and JAMES BELLOMO M.D.

1 Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Minnesota.

In summary. 158 patients with migraine complained of signs and symptoms that were related to the thorax, suggesting that these patients may have precordial migraine. Palpitation occurred in 83, simple tachycardia in 14, and paroxysmal tachycardia in three. Nondescript types of chest pain occurred in 92 and a rather definite [see Chart3,4 in source pdf] type of anginal pain occurred in 37. These symptoms could occur not only with but also in the absence of the cephalgia, but because of associated and concomitant disturbances in other systems they were likely the result of migraine even when the cephalgic phase was absent.
