French President Chirac Hospitalized. Did he suffer a Migrainous Stroke?

Yesterday, Reuters News reported:
"Chirac's office announced that the president was in hospital on Saturday, several hours after the 72-year old had been brought into the Parisian clinic after a "vascular accident" which affected his vision and was accompanied by a migraine."

Little information is being released about President Chirac's condition, but that brief description makes me wonder if the "vascular accident" was perhaps a Migrainous stroke. Please let this serve as a reminder that, if you experience the worst headache of your life, if your Migraine continues more than 72 hours, or if your Migraine symptoms are dramatically different than your usual pattern, please seek medical care immediately...
