Branson went from zero to viral video hero, as her troubles with speaking made her an internet sensation. However, her slurred words and problems with speech were likely due to a migraine. The viral film of Branson showed the media reporter having speech issues, which was thought to be because of either a stroke or the media reporter having taken to the air after hitting the sauce. Branson was examined by doctors after the incident. She has been clinically diagnosed with having had a migraine and has recovered.
Media reporter from viral video did not have a stroke
KCBS TV sent Serene Branson after the Grammy Awards in LA to cover the event. In the Serene Branson Grammy coverage film, the reporter speaks gibberish and has great difficulty talking, and the station quickly cut to another story. Many thought maybe Branson had a stroke while others thought maybe the reporter had just gotten really intoxicated. There were lots of tests done to find out that Branson did not have a stroke. MSNBC reports that it was reported as a migraine. She had noticed that before she went on camera, she had difficult reading, forming thoughts and had gone numb on the right side of her face, which caused her speech issues.
Headache is not what a migraine is
A migraine is not just an aggressive headache; it’s a complex event that takes place in the brain. A "migraine aura" was what Branson experienced which is much like a stroke in the symptoms that are shown in it, in accordance with the Los Angeles Times. Symptoms such as a change in vision, seeing lights blurry or brighter than normal, feeling numb, having a difficult time talking or other things can all be symptoms of a migraine aura in accordance with WebMD, although it does not take place during all migraines.
Can debilitate people
Those with migraines know how difficult it’s. It can be hard to do anything. Several headaches are really terrible although a lot of people can just lie down for a while. Since migraine auras are really severe sometimes, it could be a good idea to seek medical attention. The reason for migraines is not entirely known, but you will find risk factors such as smoking and family history of migraines.
