NHS GP warns people to stop taking birth control pills if they experience migraines with aura, as it can increase their stroke risk. The doctor, known as @doctorsooj on TikTok, advises those who have ever had a migraine with aura to stop taking contraceptives such as the combined pill, patch, or vaginal ring and see a GP immediately. A migraine with aura involves changes in vision, such as zigzag flashing lights, which can last up to an hour before the migraine begins.
